GSM Based Patient Health Monitoring

Health monitoring systems have rapidly evolved recently, and smart systems have been proposed to monitor patient current health conditions. In our proposed and implemented system, we focus on monitoring the patient’s  heart rate and  body temperature. The preventive measures should be taken in order to  save patient’s life at appropriate time is an essential need for mankind.  This paper proposes a system architecture for smart healthcare based on GSM. The objective of this work is to provide  efficient medical services  at appropriate time.

 By Using specific sensors, the data will be captured and compared with a configurable threshold using microcontroller which is defined by a specialized doctor who takes care of  the patient; in any case of emergency a short message service (SMS) will be sent to the Doctor’s mobile number along with the measured values through GSM module. This  demonstrates the feasibility of realizing a complete end-to-end smart health system responding to the real health system design requirements by taking in consideration vital human health condition.
