TITLE: SMART WEARBLE HEALTH MONITORING FOR

PATIENT/ELDER PEOPLE

TEAM MEMBERS:
 ABSTRACT:

Technology plays the major role in healthcare not only for sensory devices but also
in communication, recording and display device. It is very important to monitor
various medical parameters and post operational days. Hence the latest trend in
Healthcare communication method using IOT is adapted. Internet of things serves
as a catalyst for the healthcare and plays prominent role in wide range of
healthcare applications. In this project the ATMEGA328 microcontroller is used as
a gateway to communicate to the various sensors such as temperature sensor and
pulse oxy meter sensor. The microcontroller picks up the sensor data and sends it
to the network through Wi-Fi and hence provides real time monitoring of the
health care parameters for doctors. The data can be accessed anytime by the doctor.
The controller is also connected with buzzer to alert the caretaker about variation
in sensor output. But the major issue in remote patient monitoring system is that
the data as to be securely transmitted to the destination end and provision is made
to allow only authorized user to access the data. The security issue is been
addressed by transmitting the data through the password protected Wi-Fi module
ESP8266 which will be encrypted by standard AES128 and the users/doctor can
access the data by logging to the html webpage. Hence quick provisional
medication can be easily done by this system. This system is efficient with low
power consumption capability, easy setup, high performance and time to time
response.
INTRODUCTION:
Today Internet has become one of the important part of our daily life. It has
changed how people live, work, play and learn. Internet serves for many purpose
educations, finance, Business, Industries, Entertainment, Social Networking,
Shopping, E-Commerce etc. The next new mega trend of Internet is Internet of
Things (IOT). Visualizing a world where several objects can sense, communicate
and share information over a Private Internet Protocol (IP) or Public Networks.
The interconnected objects collect the data at regular intervals, analyse and used to
initiate required action, providing an intelligent network for analyzing, planning
and decision making. This is the world of the Internet of Things (IOT).The IOT is
generally considered as connecting objects to the Internet and using that
connection for control of those objects or remote monitoring. But this definition
was referred only to part of IOT evolution considering the machine to machine
market today. But actual definition of IOT is creating a brilliant, invisible network
which can be sensed, controlled and programmed. The products developed based
on IOT include embedded technology which allows them to exchange information,
with each other or the Internet and it is assessed that about 8 to 50 billion devices
will be connected by 2020. Since these devices come online, they provide better
life style, create safer and more engaged communities and revolutionized
healthcare. The entire concept of IOT stands on sensors, gateway and wireless
network which enable users to communicate and access the
application/information. Be that as it may, among all the regions no place does the
IOT offer more prominent guarantee than in the field of health awareness. As a
saying goes "Health is wealth" it is exceptionally crucial to make utilization of the
innovation for better wellbeing. Consequently it is obliged to add to an IOT
framework which gives secure health awareness checking. So outlining a savvy
medicinal services framework where client information is gotten by the sensor and
sent to the cloud through Wi-Fi and permitting just approved clients to get to the
information.

Health is one of the global challenges for humanity . According to the

constitutions of World Health Organization (WHO) the highest attainable standard
of health is a fundamental right for an individual . Healthy individuals lead to
secure their lifetime income and hence to increase in gross domestic product and in
tax revenues. Healthy individuals also reduce pressure on the already overwhelmed
hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals and reduce workload on the public
safety networks, charities, and governmental (or non-governmental) organizations.
To keep individuals healthy an effective and readily accessible modern healthcare
system is a prerequisite. A modernized healthcare system should provide better
healthcare services to people at any time and from anywhere in an economic and
patient friendly manner. Currently, the healthcare system is undergoing a cultural
shift from a traditional approach to a modernized patient centered approach. In the
traditional approach the healthcare professionals play the major role. They need to
visit the patients for necessary diagnosis and advising. There are two basic
problems associated with this approach. Firstly, the healthcare professionals must
be on site of the patient all the time International Journal of Computer Networks &
Communications (IJCNC) Vol.7, No.3, May 2015 14 and secondly, the patient
remains admitted in a hospital, wired to bedside biomedical instruments, for a
period of time. In order to solve these two problems the patient oriented approach
has been conceived. In this approach the patients are equipped with knowledge and
information to play a more active role in disease diagnosis, and prevention. The
key element of this second approach is a reliable and readily available patient
monitoring system (PMS). The need for a real time recording and notification of
vital signs of a patient is of prime importance for an effective PMS. By
encapsulating the advantages of modern bioinstrumentation, computers, and
telecommunication technologies a modern PMS should acquire, record, display,
and transmit the physiological data from the patient body to a remote location at
any time. For more efficient, timely, and emergency medical care the PMS must
also be incorporated with an alarm system. In order to alert the patient as well as
the health care service providers the PMS should not only monitor and analyze the
critical patients data but it should also send alarming messages in case the
monitored data go outside their normal ranges. Hence, an active database system
must be associated with the PMS. Most of the proposed PMSs are centralized in a
sense that all patients data are stored in a single server. By using necessary
firmware and software the server can be connected to an open communication
network via TCP/IP protocol. Thus a patient can be monitored from a remote
location. Existing and widespread mobile phone networks can assist in this regard.
Recently, mobile networks are considered critical for solving future global health
challenges [3]. With the global market penetration of the mobile phones the mobile
healthcare system (i.e., mHealth) is a matured idea now. By using the mobile
phone healthcare system can be made available for people, who are living in
remote areas without much access to other types of communications. Even a
simple mobile phone can become a powerful healthcare tool now. Text messages
and phone calls can quickly deliver real-time and critical information of a patient
to a remote location. Thus the patients, living in remote areas, can reduce
unnecessary back-and-forth travel to the far located healthcare centers. However,
mobile devices have become smart now to do more rather than simply transmit
medical information and advice. Smartphone, supported with high speed data
services, has revolutionized healthcare by playing the role of a powerful medical
device for monitoring the patients health. Heart disease and diabetics monitoring
and controlling systems are very much common now. An estimated 95,000
healthcare applications are available today and over 200 million people have
downloaded these applications to their smartphones . It is estimated that 500
million people will be using healthcare applications by the year of 2015. It is also
estimated that smartphones and tablets will be the most popular technological
developments for doctors since the invention of the stethoscope. In the United
States smartphones are being used by the physicians not only to access medical
reference material, training contents, and professional journals but also to use them
for patient monitoring, imaging, and bedside care. Smartphones enable patients to
take a more active role for the betterment of their own health such as managing
appointments, updating prescriptions, and accessing their medical records. Thus
smartphones have maximized healthcare professionals time and enhanced the
efficiency of the existing healthcare systems.

EXISTING SYSTEM

There is no digital system to monitor and alert the patient.

The patient vital sign parameters cannot be monitored through internet.

DRAWBACKS:

Workers monitoring is done manually and only for short range

communication.
Still now it is so risky process to sudden treatment alert for the affected
patients.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The main idea of the designed system is to continuous monitoring of the patients
over internet. The Proposed System architecture for IOT Healthcare is as shown in
the Figure.3 The model consists of ATMEGA 328 Microcontroller, Temperature
sensor Pulse Oximeter Sensor, Liquid Crystal Display(16x2), Piezo Electric
Buzzer, WiFi Module, MEMS accelerometer, Regulated Power Supply. In this
system ATMEGA 328 Microcontroller collects the data from the sensors and sends
the data through Wi-Fi Protocol. The Protected data sent can be accessed anytime
by the doctors by typing the corresponding unique IP address in any of the Internet
Browser at the end user device(ex: Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile phone).

ADVANTAGES:

They can immediately give recover treatment to the patient to save their life.

Sensors are used for monitoring and the output values are highly accurate.

WORKING:

In this system, we are going to monitor the heat beat and oxygen level and
temperature of a volunteers during10 days of day-to-day living (normal condition),
and carried out several times at a fixed time every day. During successive 10-day
measurements, a 30-hour period of total sleep deprivation was introduced as a
physiological challenge (abnormal condition). The heart beat sensor is clipped in
the finger of the running sportsman. The BP Sensor is also fixed in the fore arms or
wrist of that person. The ATMEGA microcontroller which has inbuilt ADC is used
to convert the analog value to digital form. The status will display in LCD.The
status of the sensors which placed in the persons body will transmit the value to
the Monitor section through RF 433 MHZ zigbee module on exisisting system.The
Zigbee in the monitoring section is interfaced with a PC and updating the data in
the database.In the proposed system the status of the sensors which placed in the
persons body will transmit the value to the Monitor section through IoT
module.The monitoring section is interfaced with a PC and updating the data in the
cloud datas erver in the priority of fall detection,heart rate,temperature.
