Wireless Human Health Online Monitor

-------------------------------------------------

Introduction
This project creates a portable device implementing wireless technology and taking full advantage of the wide-spreading Internet to provide a convenient solution to monitor human health. The health information acquired on the portable side transmits to the server wirelessly and can be accessed all over the Internet in real-time.
The end product turned out to be very portable and the wireless connection is responsive and solid. A significant number of possible further implementations can be developed with minor effort based on this project. Eventually, this project provides a low-price, easy-access human health monitor solution bridging the gaps between patients and doctors.

Advantages
A wireless communication network has numerous advantages, not least the mobility of the devices within the network. It is a simple matter to relocate a communicating device, and no additional cost of rewiring and excessive downtime is associated with such a move. It is also a simple matter to add in a communication device to the network or remove one from the network without any disruption to the remainder of the system. Other than the initial outlay on setting up a wireless network, the cost of running and maintaining it is minimal. These factors show the appeal of wireless technology for the home and office environment

Components of Project

Overview
The hardware of the project can be primarily divided into two major terminals as stated in the previous sections. One is the portable terminal and the other one is the server terminal. As far as the hardware goes, the portable terminal can be further divided into the measurement circuit and the processing component. The server terminal's hardware is very simple with only the wireless receiver. The following sections give a better understanding of the hardware for the project

    After conducting a few surveys and collecting feedback, there are a few modifications that need to be made. One of the things that the feedback stated repeatedly is that the price of $100 is too much for this product. This can be fixed by lowering the cost gradually to $50. Those providing feedback also expressed concern that this product could be used to avoid going to the doctor or seeking other medical advice from those who are qualified. One thing that could help is having this device connecting online to network and alerting a doctor or hospital depending on the readout. A future addition that should be added based upon feedback would be a voice readout of the information collected. Also needed is a way to save that information to a computer so a doctor is able to review and compare the information to the current stats. These additions could help people to receive the medical care that they…

    The Mobile Wireless Electrocardiogram (EKG) is a medical telemetry instrument used by medical personnel to monitor a patient’s EKG signal while allowing the patient to remain fully mobile and comfortable. This EKG measures small electrical signals from the patient’s chest caused by the heart beating. Using these signals, doctors and other medical staff can monitor the patient’s well being and predict future problems. While EKGs are commonly used in hospitals, many patients would benefit from the ability to perform usual tasks while remaining monitored on an EKG. In environments such as nursing homes and assisted living centers this technology would allow the elderly to retain their freedom of movement and still allow nursing staff to monitor important cases and patients. The wireless data relay ability would allow many patients to be monitored from a single base station with limited staff. This feature would be valuable to hospital administrators and management. With a small fleet of these devices an entire nursing home or hospital floor could be well looked after by a small nursing staff.…

    The scenario that we envision is smart medication – e.g. a medication package augmented with pervasive computing technologies – informs the patient about the effectiveness and side effects of the treatment, sends reminders to take the medication, informs relatives of elderly patients about their adherence to the treatment, detects dangerous combinations between different types of medication and alerts users about recalls or expired medication. We also have analyzed about Pilot study that will help out the doctors to look after the patients who are residing in their home from the hospital. From a technological perspective, we propose that the combination of smart objects and the patient’s mobile phone has a lot of potential in the healthcare domain because the smart objects will benefit from the…

    Since, for heart specialists such as Dr Devi Shetty it would not be possible to look after each and every telemedicine case also because only 5 % of these cases turn out to be serious heart problems. Therefore, without the need of surgeons even general physicians with appropriate training can provide this service through store-and-forward monitoring. Through store-and-forward monitoring the medical data of these patients can be acquired if these patients are not urgent cases and then can be referred to medical specialists at a convenient time for offline assessment. On the other hand, for urgent cases as recognised by the physician a system of remote monitoring can be used which enables medical professionals to monitor a patients conditions through installed ECG machines in hospitals near to the patient’s location. Remote monitoring is especially beneficial for rural patients since it provides them specialized management of their disease from a distance until a surgery is needed at the NH premises.…
