Wireless Health Care Monitoring

Abstract

This paper deals with design and developed for remote patient monitoring in healthcare field. The primary function of this system is to constantly monitor patient’s physiological parameters such as pulse rate, breathing rate, blood pressure rate and patient’s body movement, and display the same information to the doctor. In hospitals, where patient’s physiological parameters are needed to be constantly monitored, is usually done by a doctor or other paramedical staff for maintaining a record of it. It is a tedious method. In this proposed system transmitting module continuously reads patient’s pulse rate or heart beat rate, breathing rate, patient body movement and blood pressure rate through a pulse sensor, airflow sensor, accelerometer and sphygmomanometer .The sensors are used sense the information and Microcontroller is used to receive the data from the sensor. Using a Zigbee transmitter the retrieval information be send to corresponding receiver locate at the computer. The Zigbee receiver receives the data from transmitter and finally displays record to doctors via web browser. Provide notification message about the emergency to the physicians through GSM module. The main aim is to reduce the cost for monitoring patient health using different types of sensor.
