AUTOMATIC DATA TRANSFER USING SMS AND ITS APPLICATION IN TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGIES

Health is the primary concern of every human being. With the advancements in technology, its applications in enhancing the medical industry (telehealth) brought the two worlds closer. The rural parts of the country till date, are not equipped with excellent medical facilities and functional mobile data connectivity. WiFi facilities are available only in select few places. This paper discusses the development of a prototype where the vitals of the patient (temperature, pulse, and ECG) are detected and stored in a database and ThingSpeak cloud. The prototype also provides image processing techniques on digital X-Ray images to help the doctors in diagnosing the patients more efficiently.
