Embedded Based Wireless Healthcare Monitoring

There is a tremendous growth in VLSI technology and GSM communication now a day. This project mainly deals about an implementation of GSM technology in Medical field with the help of embedded system. Wireless communications used here would not only provide remote monitoring but also safe and accurate monitoring. In this project, ECG, Heart beat rate, Body temperature and Content of Oxygen in body of patient are measured by using various medical sensors as analog signal, then it is converted into digital signal using inbuilt ADC of LPC2138 ARM7TDMI-S controller which is then further processed for suitable wireless communication using paging messages with the help GSM modem. At healthcare monitoring center on a dedicated PC we will get ECG graph along with Heart beat rate, Body temperature and percentage of Oxygen. System is developed for patients that are not in a critical condition but need to be constant or periodically monitored by clinician or family member. During monitoring condition the SMS will be sent to the doctor and family member, so that patient should get monitored at a far distance.
