Smart Patient Health Monitoring System
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryNow-a-days, a growing number of people in a developing country forces to look for new solutions for the continuous monitoring of health check-up. It has become a necessity to visit hospitals frequently for doctor’s consultation, which has become financially related and a time-consuming process. To overcome this situation, we propose a design to monitor the patient’s health conditions such as heart beat, temperature, sugar level and BP and send the message to guardian using GSM. In the recent development of internet of things (IoT) makes all objects interconnected and been recognized as the next technical revolution. Patient monitoring is one of the IoT application to monitor the patient health status. Internet of things makes medical equipment’s more efficient by allowing real time monitoring of health. Using IoT doctor can continuously monitor the patients on his smart phone and also the patient history will be stored on the web server and doctor can access the information whenever needed from anywhere
Project ObjectivesNow-a-days, the medical electronics-sensors (E-sensors) are playing an important role in health care centers. The patient electronics-health (E-health) monitoring is one of the major advancements in research field. Here we use the temperature sensor, heartbeat sensor, sugar level sensor and ECG sensor to monitor the patient’s body temperature, pulse and heart rate respectively. Hence like the use of thermometer in home to check body temperature before doctor’s consultation, this proposed model (devices) can be used to check the patient’s health condition in home as first aid information to the concerned patient otherwise now-a- days consulting doctors or going to diagnosis centers become very costly in terms of financial aspect. To minimize this situation, we describe the design of a SST89E516RD2 microcontroller based advanced/high performance integrated health portable monitoring system. Like one parameter say Heart rate of the patient is measured by placing the index finger on IRD (Infra-Red Device) sensor and the pulse rate is then measured and displayed on LCD. The device sends messages when the parameter value exceeds the provided cut-off value. This cut-off value or threshold is given by the programmer during coding of the LPC-2148. The standard heart beat ranges between 60-100 pulses/min and standard temperature ranges between 18°C to 38°C. The Heart Rate, ECG, Brain tumor and the Body Temperature information is then sent to the authorized person through GSM.
Project Implementation MethodPurpose of design
Design of the health monitoring system for the researchers is the hot topic. Health monitoring system is used every field such as hospital, home care unit, sports. This health monitoring system use for chronicle diseases patients who have daily check-up. So, researchers design a system as portable device. Researcher designed different health monitoring system based on requirement. Different platform like Microcontroller, ASIC, FPGA, PIC microcontroller is used to design the system based on this performance. The integration of different medical instrument on the single system on-chip is main achievement for researcher by using different biomedical sensor.
Home E-health patient monitoring system consist of microcontroller (SST89E516RD2), LCD, ADC, MAX-232(RS- 232), GSM module, power supply and sensors.
Hardware design specification
i SST89E516RD2 microcontroller
80C51 CPU with 5V operating voltage from 0 to 40 MHz.
· 64 kB of on-chip flash user code memory with ISP and IAP SPI and enhanced UART.
· Four 8-bit I/O ports with three high-current port 1 pins.
· Three 16-bit timers/counters.
· Programmable watchdog timer.
ii LCD display
· A liquid crystal display is a thin, flat electronic visual display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs).
· Liquid crystal display screen works on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting light. LCD’s
requires backlight as they do not emit light by them.
iii MAX 232
· Meet or Exceed TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU Recommendation V.28
· Operate with Single 5-V Power Supply
· Operate Up to 120 Kbit/s
| · | Two Drivers and Two Receivers |
iv GSM
· Global system for mobile communication (GSM) is used to send information of the processed parameters.
· The input voltage is from 5v to 12v.
v Power supply
· Available in TO-220, TO-39, and TO-252 D-PAK packages
· Output voltages of 5V, 12V, and 15V
vi Temperature Sensor
· Temperature sensors are devices used to measure the temperature of a medium.
· Linear in + 10-mV/°C Scale Factor.
· 0.5°C Ensured Accuracy (at 25°C)
vii Heart beat Sensor
· Heart beat is sensed by using a high intensity type LED and LDR.
· The finger is placed between the LED and LDR. As Sensor a photo diode or a photo transistor can be used
· The skin may be illuminated with visible (red) using transmitted or reflected light for detection.
viii Blood Pressure
· Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
· without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the pressure in large arteries of
the systemic circulation.
· Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure

Benefits of the ProjectIn this, we have analyzed Microcontroller based health monitoring system using IoT. Any abnormalities in the health conditions can be known directly and are informed to the particular person through GSM technology or via internet. The proposed system is simple, power efficient and easy to understand. It acts as a connection between patient and doctor. The hardware for the project is implemented and the output results are verified successfully
Technical Details of Final DeliverableAs described above the scope of our project is wide in the medical field. Everyone wants to get rid of the daily hospitals visit and the lot of medical expenses. People demand the smart health kit which is affordable and help them to avoid from hospitals visits.
Due to increase demand of smart health kit the medical industries are interested to design the small health kit. We are providing them the small health kit within minimum budget which gives four basic medical services at a same time i.e Diabetes test, Body Temperature, Blood pressure and ECG. So, the industries which are making the medical devices can by our project and we can easily sale them.
