Underwater Li-Fi Communication for Monitoring the Divers Health

Abstract

Diving has become a common way of performing research in the underwater living world. One of the major problems with diving is the health issues faced by the divers during diving and there comes the need for monitoring diver’s health. This paper mainly focuses on the health monitoring systems for divers by transferring the data using Li-Fi (Light Fidelity). This system senses different health specifications like heartbeat, body temperature and lung expansion. The monitored health specifications are recorded as a database in a memory chip for further analysis. To reduce the power consumption, the system transfers the data to the nearby divers and ship only during the abnormal health issue. The proposed system can be used up to 120 meters sea depth and the data can be transferred up to 5 receivers at a time.
