IMPLEMENTATION OF PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM USING GSM TECHNOLOGY
Manish M. Patil, Chhaya S. Khandelwal · 2013
In this fast pace of life it is difficult for people to be constantly available for their near ones who might need them while they are suffering from any disease or physical disorder. So also constant monitoring of the patients body parameters such as temperature, pulse rate, sugar level etc. becomes difficult. Also in intensive care units it is necessary to monitor continuously the patient’s health parameters and keep their record. But there is a possibility of human errors. Hence to remove human errors and to lessen excessive burden of continuously monitoring patient’s health from doctor’s head, we are proposing patient monitoring system using GSM. A patient monitoring system which provides continuous monitoring of a patient includes a data acquisition & processing module which receives physiological data from the patient and GSM module to transmit acquired data to doctor’s mobile. This unit may be inserted in a bedside display unit to display the physiological condition of the patient. Patient monitoring systems measure physiological characteristics either continuously or at regular intervals over time.
