Patient Monitoring using Geofencing

Abstract

Abstract: In these modern times, technologies are used to efficiently monitor the location of people. In this project,geofencing technology is used to locate and monitor theLocation of hospital patients. With Geofence the movement of patients can be virtually concentrated within the Hospital premises without hindering real activities by placing boundaries near the patient's area. By using Global Positioning System (GPS) tech, signals of a patient's device can be traced and monitored. If the patient goes beyond the geofenced area, the administrator will receive a SMS from the device and could handle the situation so that the patients don't get lost. Patient's location can be tracked by the device by using the GPS fitted on the patient's device, and the patient is unaware of it. To satisfy these conditions, essential processes must be done, such as Analysis of Geofenced area and Sending SMS or notifications on the desired Mobile Phone that is with the administrator. All of this will create an environment that can supervise patients that could be of any programmed distance, In this project for demonstration we have taken geofence radius as 30 metres. This device will receive a message automatically when the patient is out of the Geofenced area. The shortest distance between the patient and the administrator is calculated by using Haversine formula.
