WSN Based Health Monitoring System for Cardiac Patients

ABSTRACT A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based on health monitoring system for cardiac patients have been proposed. The main parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation rate and temperature are transmitted and monitored using WSN. This data is then recorded in the server PC and communicated to the near-by doctor in case of emergency. To monitor these parameters several sensors are used The main objective of this system is to reduce the stress levels of the doctor by informing them about the patients even when patients are in unconscious state. It also maintains the record of each and every patient as the changes occurs in their healthsuch as heart rate sensor, pressure sensor, SPO2 sensor and temperature sensor. Various technologies such as ZigBee, WI-FI and Android Application will be used to transmit the data to other ends (nodes within WSN, server and doctor). The proposed method consist of sensors, a WSN which transmits data using ZigBee, an Android Application which informs the doctor if the values of sensor cross the saturation level and WI-FI technology to store the measured sensor data into main server.
