Abstract :
System framework aims to design and implementation of ATM based remote healthcare monitoring system. This allows an individual to check the medical parameters such as Blood glucose level, Blood pressure, Heart beat, Body temperature, Height, Weight using appropriate sensors after swiping the smart card of the person in the smart card reader which is interfaced to the microcontroller. After the check, the money for the particular test is transferred from the smart card. Then the health conditions are sent to the person´s mobile phone via GSM. The entire database is stored in the main server. The main server is considered as a common healthcare monitoring system which is maintained by a separate health care unit from which, physical advises are sent to the persons mobile number. Also it allows us to access the health parameters from anywhere by swiping the smart card in the smart card reader The proposed method of remote health care monitoring system may help to reduce the cost of the healthcare and to simultaneously improve the quality of the healthcare. It also allows an individual to fix appointment for the particular doctor. This will reduce the time to be spent in hospitals and allows consumers can maintain their own health and wellness. Care givers can more quickly react to the medical emergencies of elders. Trainers can analyze trainee´s fitness level. It is a non-invasive approach and will provide real time monitoring.
