Human Health Monitoring System over Internet in Wireless Body Area Networks

Abstract

Now-a-days maximum of people are affected by heart disease. Particularly heart attack is the major problem occurs everywhere. Heart attack causes millions of death in this world due to healthcare cost. In order to reduce the healthcare cost we proposed IoT technique to monitor the patient. Thingspeak server will helps the doctor to examine the patient without actual visiting. This paper introduces real time heart beat detection and monitoring system of a patient. Heart Beat Detection and Monitoring System using Raspberry pi that will detect the heart beat using the Pulse Sensor and will show the readings in BPM (Beats per Minute) on the LCD connected to it. It will also send the readings to ThingSpeak server using the Wi-Fi module ESP8266, so that Heart Beats can be monitored from anywhere in the world over the internet. ThingSpeak is a great source for displaying the data online and you can access the data from ThingSpeak at any time and at any place. So that doctors will provide immediate service from their place to the patient through SMS or email notification. The heartbeat of a patient is monitored so that life time of a patient will be increased. The cost to implement this technique is less and accuracy in monitoring is better than other techniques.
