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 provide the ability to track, trace and 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 and GPS technologies. The objective of this work is providing an effective application for Real Time Health Monitoring and Tracking. The system will track, trace, monitor patients and facilitate taking care of their health; so efficient medical services could be provided 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. Furthermore, the GPS provides the position information of the monitored person who is under surveillance all the time. 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.
