Development of Continuous Health Monitoring System for Persistent Vegetative State Patients

Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) patients are people who have experienced serious brain damage and have been unconscious for a long time. Due to their limited capacity for environmental adaptation, they need to be continuously observed for any changes in their state. It can be difficult to continuously monitor PVS patients because standard approaches might not be able to pick up on little changes in their status. As a result, patients may experience delayed treatment and a terrible prognosis. By providing real-time monitoring of vital signs and enabling fast response to any abnormalities in the patient's condition, the suggested system for continuous monitoring of PVS patients utilizing the IoT technology can improve the treatment offered to these patients. The usage of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and ESP32 also enables real-time data transmission and remote monitoring, substantially boosting the treatment given to PVS patients. It is intended to enable real-time monitoring of vital indicators such heart rate; temperature, sound detection, and eye blink detection for PVS patients using the suggested system for continuous monitoring. Early identification of changes in the patient's state is a feature of the system, allowing medical personnel to act quickly and enhance patient care. For instance, if the system notices an unusual temperature or heart rate, an alert can be issued to the medical team so they can take the appropriate steps to treat the problem.
