Abstract

Since the last decade, the healthcare applications have acquired significant attention of researchers. An ultimate goal is to innovate and develop not only a reliable but also economic patient health monitoring system (PMS) in order to that healthcare personnel can supervise their patients, either hospitalized or performing their usual daily routine activities. In India, so many lives are affected just because of lack of timely and properly treatment. Also for the inefficient and erroneous measurement of real time health parameter values in clinic and in hospitals too. Sometimes it becomes very crucial for hospitals to frequently check patients health condition. Also ceaseless observation of ICU patients is difficult or even not possible. To cope with these types of situations, this system is advantageous. It provides real time online data regarding physiological status of patient. It is designed to be used in hospitals for measuring and observing several parameters like movement or fall, temperature, pulse rate etc. The results are then collected by Raspberry Pi and stored in a database. Then this data is transferred on internet server using WiFi module. So that Doctors can login to a website and view those results and treat patient well within time without any constraint of distance or time.
