Arduino UNO and GSM based wireless health monitoring system for patients

Abstract

In India, near about 20% of the total population loses their lives due to interrupted health monitoring system i.e. in most of the hospitals, doctor visits patients either in morning shift or in evening shift or in both shifts. What happens if patient's health becomes critical in between that interval or when a doctor is not available with a patient. The answer is; a patient may lose her\his life. So to avoid this critical situation; we are proposing a smart embedded system device which monitors patients health continuously. This system monitors patients heart rate, body temperature and saline liquid level (if any). If any of the above parameters goes beyond the threshold value, this smart device informs doctors or care taker and ask for corrective actions to save patients life.
