The concept of the project taken from Telemedicine.
It is a rapidly developing application of clinical
medicine where medical information is transferred
through interactive audiovisual media for the purpose
of consulting, and sometimes remote medical
procedures or examinations.
Telemedicine may be as simple as two health
professionals discussing a case over the telephone, or
as complex as using satellite technology and
videoconferencing equipment to conduct a real-time
consultation between medical specialists in two
different countries. Telemedicine generally refers to
the use of communications and information
technologies for the delivery of clinical care.
Care at a distance (also called in absentia care), is an
old practice which was often conducted via post. There
has been a long and successful history of in absentia
health care which, thanks to modern communication
technology, has evolved into what we know as modern
telemedicine.
In its early manifestations, African villagers
used smoke signals to warn people to stay away from
the village in case of serious disease. In the early
1900s, people living in remote areas in Australia used
two-way radios, powered by a dynamo driven by a set
of bicycle pedals, to communicate with the Royal
Flying Doctor Service of Australia / Advances in sensor technology, personal mobile devices, and
wireless broadband communications are enabling the
development of an integrated personal mobile health
monitoring system that can provide patients with a useful
tool to assess their own health and manage their personal
health information anytime and anywhere. Personal mobile
devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones, are becoming
more powerful integrated information management tools and
play a major role in many people's lives. Here I focus on
designing a Mobile health-monitoring system for people who
stay alone at home or suffering from Heart Disease. This
system presents a complete unified and mobile platform
based connectivity solution for unobtrusive health
monitoring. Developing a hardware which will sense heart
rate and temperature of a patient, using Bluetooth modem all
information lively transmitted to smart phone, from smart
phone all information transmitted to server using GPRS. At
server the received data compared with the standard
threshold minimum and maximum value. The normal range
of heart rate is 60 to 135 and the temperature of the patient is
said to be normal above 95^F and below 104^F. If at all the
rate increases above 145 or decreases below 55,it may be
fatal and if it crossed this threshold limit then SMS will be
sent to the relative of patient and Doctors along with
measured values.
The build-in GPS further provides the position information
of the monitored person. The remote server not only collects
physiological measurements but also tracks the position of
the monitored person in real time.
For transmitting data from Smartphone to the server using
GPRS, here we need to create a website on data will be
continuously transmitted from Smartphone to the website and
from website data will be downloaded continuously on the
server.
Thus the system helps in tracking down the patient without
getting the patient into any sort of communication. Undue
mishaps can be avoided within the golden hours after a
patient is struck with a heart attack.
