A Real Time Cardiac Patient Monitoring System Using Mobile Phone Technology

It is a tiresome task to look after a cardiac patient 24/7 and most patients do not have the ability to assign a nurse. In many countries, the rate of cardiac patient death due to lack of instant action is increasing alarmingly. This paper suggests an effective approach to monitor the significant health parameters of a cardiac patient and a way of sending messages to a chosen contact if any abnormality is observed in the patient. Moreover, this approach also includes a special feature that involves a push button that automatically sends a message to the chosen contact if the patient feels any need for immediate assistance. In this way, this paper delineates an approach that will not only measure the significant body parameters of a cardiac patient but will also work as an alarm for critical accident occasions. The monitoring process is completely carried by noninvasive sensors so there is no risk of skin infection or other infection-related diseases.
