This topic also gives the brief description about scope of the project and design methodology.Patient Monitoring System is a process where a surgeon can continuously monitor morethan one patient at a time in remote place.
1.1 Proposed Work
Some severe diseases and disorders e.g. heart failure needs close and continualmonitoring procedure after diagnosis, in order to prevent mortality or further damage assecondary to the mentioned diseases or disorders. Monitoring these types of patients,usually, occur at hospitals or healthcare centers. Heart arrhythmias for instance, in manycases, need continual long-term monitoring. However, the patients are often too earlyreleased, owing to need of hospital bed for another patient on the waiting list, who needsto be hospitalized immediately.
1.2 Scope of the Work
Long waiting time for hospitalization or ambulatory patient monitoring/treatment, areother well-known issues for both the healthcare institutions and the patients. This project provides healthcare authorities to maximize the quality and breadth of healthcare services by controlling costs. As the population increases and demand for services increases, theability to maintain the quality and availability of care, while effectively managingfinancial and human resources, is achieved by this project. The use of moderncommunication technology in this context is the sole decisive factor that makes suchcommunication system successful
In transmitter circuit the Heat Beat is measured by LED and LDR, then it is appliedto the microcontroller. The Microcontroller maintains the records of the measuredreadings. It compares the measured heart beat with the normal readings and checks it iswithin the normal range or not. If it is normal, then it keeps record of the same and thereadings in SMS(Short Messaging Service) form to the specified mobile number. Thetime specified for sending message is given by the user
CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Embedded systems are one of the emerging technologies which are touchingevery nook and corner of the mind. “It is impossible to live without these embeddedgadgets”-says ELECTRONICS magazine. From the above statement, the liveliness of embedded system can be understood. Data communications is one of the most rapidlygrowing commercial market areas today, especially “wireless communications”. In the past few years, wireless data communications has grown from an obscure and expensivecuriosity into a practical and affordable communication and networking technology.The convenience of wireless is very appealing as not to deal with running cablesto and from devices in order to interconnect them, and wireless devices can be moved toany location within the transmission range, while still being able to communicate and broadcast data. Due to this, it is expected that wireless data communications will becomeeven more popular and more extensively used in the medical field. Currently the most popular method of wireless communications is radio frequency transmission. As thesedevices have a very low power consumption and power output
