Efficient Monitoring system for cardiac patients using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

The health monitoring system is one of the trendy research areas of Wireless Senor Network (WSN) which helps the users, to use sensor strategy to sense signals, physiological events of the patients and alert the users. Traditional sensors have restrictions such as positions, wired communication between the sensor modules provide the patients not to move them freely. Traditional methods have difficulties in Monitoring heart patients for urban and rural area but by using WSN it is possible by implementing internet/intranet. The proposed system concentrates on reducing the stress level and strain of doctors/patients and also reduces the medical errors, man power and increases the overall flexibility of staffs and doctors. The main objective of the proposed system for the insensible heart patients is monitor the pulse rate, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation rate and blood pressure by using pulse sensor, heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, spo2 sensor and pressure sensor. The sensor data of the each patient will be sent to the smart phones of the caretakers (receiver and doctor) to monitor effectively even though when patients are in unconscious state. The result of the proposed method includes the following parameters such as coverage of system, area size, and No. of patients, data type, and speed of the data transmission to closely monitor proposed system.
