Abstract
A remote patient health monitoring system using Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has been proposed to detect sudden possible falls in elderly people, acquire body temperature and ECG (Electrocardiogram) via wireless sensor nodes viz an accelerometer, a temperature sensor, and 3 bipolar limb leads. These nodes carry information to a coordination node with the freedom of unconstrained movement, by allowing the nodes to interact with the host node seamlessly. Leads 2 and 3 gives an inferior view of the heart to detect a probable heart attack or MI that might occur in the inferior region. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) has been employed in this work for the detection of ST elevation, T inversion, and deep Q on lead 2 data. Atrial fibrillation, the most common kind of arrhythmia, is anticipated from the acquired lead 2 data using the standard deviation parameter. The 3 lead ECG report is then forwarded to the doctor via email for remote monitoring and diagnostic purposes.
