I want the program. able to read the images that contain numbers and give an alert in case. Exceeded the numeric values for a certain amount
Example
Suppose screen recorded heart rate in the hospital for the patient. Program required. Read the heart rate through the camera, for example, and gives an alert if the increased heart rate of 100 per minute
With thanks

Wha??? ???

We can not give right answer because..
Wrong Question!
What you need is called:
PULSE OXIMETER
It will cost less that a video camera.
Connects directly to computer.
And provides more information.

zf490, Don't know if the example presented reflects the actual situation you desire to have the "alert" on. If it does then it would seem that rather than necessarily having the alert at the site it would be more advantageous to have the "alert" at the common monitoring location IE; the somewhat remote nursing station. In which case i suggest the monitoring is already done there to some degree by the equipment located there (which may or may not include video monitoring) depending on the resources of the facility. So if the real situation you are trying to resolve is different from the example you chose perhaps you could provide it then we could maybe deal with an actual need/solution. As Geek-9pm has stated technology already exists for the example you set. truenorth

Thank you
Example given is one of the uses required by the program and not all.
I am a doctor in the intensive care. And the program will save a lot of people :D :D :D

I can't believe this capability does not exist in equipment that hospitals can obtain from manufacturer's who specialize in medical monitoring equipment.
But if, indeed, this is not the case, perhaps a specialized forum such as http://www.topix.com/forum/business/medical-equipment or http://www.dotmed.com/news/forums/ or http://www.themedsupplyguide.com/forums/ could be more helpful. And, if you are actually seeking to design something new, I think you will probably get more help from other, more specialized, resources. A Google search on medical equipment design or similar phrase may be worth perusing.

;D yeeeeeeeh......

I have a little training on repair of medical equipment. An a lot of experience on small computer systems.
It would be very hard to get FDA approval even for a remote monitor device if it was involved in life support. Desktop computers in medicine have to be keep out of the life support loop. The can be used for billing, research and administrative yaks. No responsible manufacture would certified a product that they can not 100% control. That is what rules out the PC for life support. The PC is just too open.
I mentioned earlier the PULSE OXIMETER.
This device is made by a number of companies, is self contained, has visual and audible alarms, very portable, can be wired to an external alarm and can do simple telemetry. And fully complies with FDA rules. Other countries may have similar rules about using equipment that has been certified.
Your project must be limited to an experiment, but must not be used for critical things. A failure of the system could endanger the life of a patient.
The links posted by Soybean are good.

Well then your probably well acquainted with the hardship that is trying to tell a family that their loved one passed away.
So, basically, your making things all the more colourful, because when they ask "did he go peacefully" you can honestly say, "well, he would have been perfectly fine, if my ad-hoc and completely unsupported method of monitoring patients didn't blue screen"
I'm sure they will understand perfectly.

Thank you all
I know that there are companies. Manufactures. And the preparation of integrated medical services. But in my country We do not have a wide spectrum of choice. So we are trying to rely on other ways to help patients :D
