Abstract
Health has become an important issue in today's world. People suffering from a disease or physical disorder might need their near ones and it is quite difficult for people to be continuously available for them. Most commonly people are suffering from Hypertension i.e., high blood pressure, Hypotension, low blood pressure, Diabetes, and many other diseases. Among India's population around 62 million people are suffering from diabetes in which 8.2 percent are adult male whereas 6.8 percent are adult female and this is increasing day by day. A major health problem in India is high blood pressure and the percentage of people suffering from hypertension ranges from 20-40% in urban adults and 12-17% in rural adults. Thus, the focus of this project is mainly on designing a system which measures blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature of the patient. This paper deals with the design and development of a system that consist of different sensors such as blood pressure sensor, temperature sensor, heartbeat sensor and sugar level sensor these all are interfaced with the microcontroller which provides all these measurements to respective doctors with the help of GSM(Global Systems for Mobile communication). Also this paper shows that how the different health conditions of the patient are measured by microcontroller in real time and with the help of ADC these readings are converted into digital form. In this system GSM is used for mobile communication which means that all the readings are transmitted to the doctors PC through GSM network and then respective doctor will be able to access this information and further the patient's health is monitored. The design of this system is kept simple for home and ambulance use. This device is mainly designed for ambulance use and further it can be implemented in homes in rural areas. Efficiency of the proposed system is being demonstrated and it will be more efficient for doctors to check the patient as it gives real time information regarding to the patient's condition. To provide the medical services to the patients living in the rural areas of India, the use of telemedicine is one of the important concerns.
