Heart Monitoring and Alarming System

Abstract

Recent studies show that problems like heart attack, which usually happens in late 60’s, now happing to adults because of their busy schedule and irregular lifestyle. Under these conditions, Internet of Things has given a much simpler answer for wireless real-time health monitoring of patients from the home and hospital. So what is the target of our research? There are some cases in which patient died even in the ICU because of heart attack. ICU has all the advance machines to keep track of all the health-related parameters of patient but there is no mechanism to alert the doctors in case of event like these. Machines installed in ICU are only for monitoring purpose, not for analysis. Our device focuses on monitoring and data collection so as to provide better health related services and to reduce the mortalities. To provide immediate medical assistance to a patient having heart trouble we are proposing a system via our device. Our device functions by observing heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration rate & body movement of the patient and if any of the variable crosses the threshold value a SMS will be send to the doctors instantly to alert them. Another remarkable area of the provided solution is to create ideal surroundings as per the requirement of patient’s health condition. Using all the sensors it will collect the data and store it in cloud where it can be used for further research and analysis. The data collected can be used to study and predict the health of the patient.
