GSM based Patient Healthcare Monitoring System

Abstract

Modern healthcare monitoring system necessitate immediate data acquisition, accurate predictions, and swift medication responses. These systems are equipped with sensors to measure vital parameters like body temperature, heart rate and oxygen levels. The collected data is transmitted to a central control system for remote patient health analysis, effectively reducing the workload of medical professionals and ensuring precise results. Additionally, these systems employ GSM technology to enable parameter monitoring via mobile phones. Data from patients is processed through a microcontroller platform, typically Arduino Uno. Any anomalies reported by the patient trigger the system to send a message to the designated caretaker or physician providing essential data for future health assessments. Further enhancements such as timed medication remainders can transform this system into a real time application focused device, advancing patient care systems. When considering factors such as cost, configuration and efficiency, this system emerges as the most effective and cost-efficient solution compared to alternatives worldwide. Moreover, it offers invaluable assistance to patients residing in remote areas.
