Remote Monitoring of CHF Patients Health Using Wearable Sensors

K. Arun, K. Lalitha

Abstract: This paper proposes a step towards the preventive health care for CHF (chronic heart failure) patients admitted in hospitals. Hereby the sensors which are directly fixed into the human body and they are connected with a high processing microcontroller. In such cases, failure of any desired temperature, blood pressure, heart rate or any emergency situation if the patient is suffering with vital signs will be immediately indicated to the ward incharge who is near to the patient through the buzzer and the parameter which is affected will be displayed in LCD. The care section (1b) block diagram in our proposed system is designed as a handhold device and it is given to the doctors in hospitals. i. e, During an emergency period, a message of a particular emergency patients condition will be displayed in LCD and a voice output also given to the doctors handhold device through the zigbee module from the transmitter to the receiver section. In addition, a text message about the patients condition is also send to the doctors mobile through GSM module.
