Automated mobile physiological measurement system

The convergence of an aging population and breakthrough technological advances has created endless opportunities for automated medical devices. These devices help ensure the future health of millions of people by providing advances in home health care, clinical activities and medical imaging. But these devices could only measure a single parameter and just display the data. This paper discusses the health monitoring system using microcontrollers and GSM technology. It is a combination of ubiquitous computing with mobile health technology to monitor the wellbeing of patients. The microcontroller analyses the data in real-time and determines whether the person needs external help. It interfaces with medical devices including a blood-pressure monitor, a heart rate monitor and an electronic thermometer and offer suggestions based on the readings. If the readings are abnormal then it sends messages to the care takers and in case of critical conditions it automatically gives call/message to the ambulance. It mainly focuses to improve the health of people and could ease the burden on the health-care system.
