Wearable Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Now a days health monitoring is essential for all human beings. In recent years several techniques are used for health monitoring purpose. The project proposed a Wi–Fi based wireless sensor network for monitoring purpose. Because, it has both data acquisition and data transmission principle. Each of us requires a periodic monitoring of vital parameters and correct treatments based on this data. These processes become even more crucial when people reach a certain age and are not capable to follow their health condition properly without a special medical personnel or sophisticated equipment to perform the monitoring. Therefore, a particular interest is focused on continuous monitoring techniques. For continuous monitoring, microcontroller is used. In this case several sensor units are considered. Namely, Temperature sensor for sensing the human temperature and the environmental temperature, Heart beat rate sensor, and GPS module. All of sensors are used only for sensing purpose. If the sensed value is equal to normal value, it stops further process. Otherwise it sends control signals to patient via IoT network. Where the Internet of things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity, and other forms of hardware (Temperature sensor, Heart beat rate sensor, GPS module), these devices can communicate and interact with others over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. So, this project represents “A wearable flexible device for Human monitoring and environment conditions” that aims for continuous monitoring in real time which can be used easily and continuously.
