HEALTH PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Taking care of our family member health it becomes a very difficult task nowdays. We all have or at least know, an elderly family member that we are always worried about their health. In this thesis I will try to explain and demonstrate a system that can monitor health of the patient. This system will demonstrate and it will monitor the health of the patient as a routine check,for example monitoring health of an elderly patient.This system uses pulse sensor and temperature to monitor and inform about our family members health. There are five sensors in this monitoring system: 1)Temperature sensor -which measures the body temperature of the patient. 2)Pulse sensor-which measures the pulse of the patient. 3)Humidity sensor-which check the humidity in the air. The sensors are connected to a controller and this controller is connected to the internet using GSM module to report alerts or update the stats of the patient. If the system detects any changes in pulse or the body temperature,it will alert the person that is monitoring the patient over the IoT and details and useful information about the patient in real time. The controller,in this case ARDUINO MEGA 2560 is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software is used to analyze the different inputs that comes from pulse sensor so it can send an alert to the monitoring system. Another very useful thing is that all the processes and all the inputs for the different sensors on the system are recorded online.We all know that privacy and confidentiality of the information is important.In my opinion,this monitoring system that I’m building is a prototype.Of course as a prototype,it will need a lot of work to be a perfect monitoring system and one of the part will be the security of the privacy. These records can be used later or in the feature for fully analysis and review of the patient’s health condition. By fully analysis I mean that the patient will be monitored lets say 30 days. After the monitored period,a doctor will analyze and give feedback regarding the health of the patient.IoT patient health monitoring system will effectively use the internet to track all the patient health records and stats.
