Abstract

The need of doctor is very essential for proper patient care. But he may not be present in every place to provide treatment immediately. So the right solution is the remote monitoring of patient’s health. The major problem in remote monitoring is the unavailability of proper internet connection in remote areas. So this made us to use a GSM module for our project as the telecommunication network is spread globally. This system monitors physical parameters like heart beat, body temperature and sends the measured values directly to a doctor through an SMS. The system has been realized using software modules and later through hardware circuit. Our project utilizes the system hardware consisting of a heartbeat sensor, microcontroller interface circuit and a GSM MODEM. Also, the design for the software has been presented through the use of GSM AT commands. This system uses the AT89C52 microcontroller unit with rich internal resources to meet the necessities of the system for handy operation. Our device can even measure heartbeat ranging from a baby to an adult. The low cost of the device will help us to provide suitable home based effective monitoring system.
