Design of Apnea Detector for Health Care System

Sleep apnea (SA) as Obstructive rest apnea (OSA) is becoming the most widely recognized respiratory confusion amid rest, which is portrayed by ends of wind current to the lungs. These discontinuances in breathing must last over 10 seconds to be viewed as an apnea occasion. Apnea occasions may happen 5 to multiple times an hour and may occur up to four hundred times each night in those with extreme SA. During sleep apnea the muscles of the upper respiratory airway collapse. And is known as cessation of breathing. An exceptionally easy-to-understand gadget which could be utilized both by a medicinal staff in an emergency clinic or by the client at home since it doesn't require any talented preparing. This work has developed an ultra-negligible exertion microcontroller-based breath checking system. It has a test which involves a straightforward temperature sensor and that must be put at the tip of the nasal area. The test can be cut with the nostril. The breath rate is appeared on a 16x2 LCD screen. If the breath rate is past customary, a flag gets actuated. The structure will make an alert if the breath rate isn't predictable or if there is an unforeseen unpredictable change. The readings obtained from simulation and real-time will provide a base to the doctors for studying the patient and understanding the type of apnea by understanding the difference in temperature and breath rate obtained by the device. The simulation acts as a correction reference for the real time device. The portability and low-cost make the device easy to use and flexible amongst all genre of patients. By attaching GSM module to the device, the patient's conditions can be monitored from anywhere in the home or in the hospital. Doctors receive the message based on the program given to the chip and choose to respond to message accordingly. The device provides an appropriate measure of the breath rate of the patient to whom it is attached to and acts as a monitoring device for the doctors and provides them feasibility and flexibility in understanding the condition and responding accordingly to the message received in accordance with sensors attached and the way the patient's breathing pattern change.
