Abstract – Everyday many lives are affected by heart
attacks and other diseases more importantly because the
patients did not get timely and proper helps. In the future
what if due to lack of urgent service we are not able to save
the patient. The answer to such a problem is that the patient
needs to be monitored constantly.Duetowhichwewouldbe
able attend the patient immediately. Hence, we introduce a
system consisting of a wearable device that will monitor the
patient health. The wearable device will consist of different
sensors such as temperature sensors and pulse sensor BP
and humidity. The device will send its data to the server
through the android application of the patient. Thisdata will
be available to the doctor on his desktop and individual also.
We have made a prototype of an automated electronic
system comprising a Wi-Fi module and IC ATMEGHA 328
microcontroller which is capable of measuring the Body
Temperature and Heart Beat of a moving Patient no matter
where the patient is and in case of emergencysendswireless
plea for the rescue/emergency help. The system that we
have proposed give an advantage when compared to the
wired system in the view that the doctor can get real time
information about the parameters as well as location of the
patient so that instant medication can be provided.Incaseof
emergency the patient can be tracked using hislatitudesand
longitudes.

1. INTRODUCTION
Day by day stress level of people is increasing due to
competitive lifestyle and increasing pollution levels. These
days maintaining a healthy life is thought. It is vital to keep
track on body by regular check-up.Patientmonitoringrefers
to the continuous observation of repeating events of
physiologic function to guide therapy or to monitor the
effectiveness of interventions and is used primarily in the
intensive care unit and operating room. At least in India
there is no system which continuously monitors the patient
when patient is on move. Wireless sensors are standard
measurement tools equipped with transmitters to convert
signals from process control instruments into a radio
transmission. The radio signal is interpreted by a receiver
which then converts the wireless signal to a specific, desired
output, such as an analog current or data analysis via
computer software. Wireless Sensors are also used in
diagnosis. One of the applications of Wireless Sensors in the
field of Medicine is Remote Patient Monitoring. Remote
monitoring, also known as self-monitoring/testing, enables
medical professionals to monitor a patient remotely using
various technological devices. This methodisprimarilyused
for managing chronic diseases or specificconditions,suchas
heart disease, to check blood pressure, or asthma. These
services can provide comparable health outcomes to
traditional in-person patient encounters, supply greater
satisfaction to patients, and may be cost-effective. In remote
monitoring, sensors are used to capture and transmit
biometric data. For example, a tele-EEG device monitors the
electrical activity of a patient’s brain and then transmitsthat
data to a specialist. This could be done in either real time or
the data could be stored and then forwarded. This paper
focuses on how the android application is used to send the
patient’s parameters to the server. Also helps the patient in
case of emergency by generatinganalert whenthethreshold
values are crossed.
2. EXISTING SYSTEM:
Currently the system used for patient monitoringisthefixed
monitoring system which can be used only when the patient
is on bed. The available systems are huge in size and only
available in the hospitals in ICU.
DRAWBACKS OF EXISTINGSYSTEM
Now-a-days many systems for continuous monitoring of
the patient are available. But they have following
drawbacks:
1) In existing system patient needs to be hospitalized.
Fig -1 Existing System

2) Regular monitoring of patient is not possible once
he/she is discharged from hospitals.
3) These systems cannot be used at individual level.
4) Existing systems are bulky in size and their
maintenance and cost pose a hurdle.
5) Most of the Existing systems use wired
communication which is too tedious for long distance
communications.
6) They are not successfully implemented when
patient is moving.
3. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The system architecture is explained. This System Mainly
Contains Following Blocks:
1) Sensors
The sensors for Heart Beat and Body Temperature will be
mounted on a board along with the other required things
like AVR ATMega32 IC, Wi-Fi module crystal oscillator etc.
which the patient will have to carry.
2) Wi-Fi link
The link will be established between the patient’s Wi-Fi
Enabled Mobile Phone and the Sensors circuit via a
Bluetooth Module which will be mounted on the Sensor
Circuit. This helps in continuous monitoring of the
parameters which will be send across to the patient’s
mobile that will contain software that monitors
parameters.
3)Arduino UNO
Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and
software company, project and user community that
designs and manufactures microcontroller-based kits for
building digital devices and interactive objects that can
sense and control objects in the physical world.
4)Website for Uploading Data from Mobile
Here we are creating new website for uploading data from
mobile continuously using GPRS, on website we need do
programming which will receive and storedata.Onrequest
from server data will transmitted to the server on specific
interval. New website will act like third party in GPRS
Communication.

4. PROPOSED ALGORITHM
Step 1: Start.
Step 2: Connect power supply.
Step 3: Connect Bluetooth to patient’s android device.
Step 4: Insert your finger in the cavity.
Step 5: Wait for some time for it to be displayed.
Step 6: Hold the temperature sensor between your
fingers/place under the tongue.
Step 7: Wait for some time for the parameters to be
displayed.
Step 8: Open the app.
Step 9: Login using user id and password.
Step 10: Establish the connection between the Smart Phone
and Hardware via. Wi-Fi.
Step 11: Display the received data.
Step 12: Calculate latitude and longitude.
Step 13: Send the above data via. Internet to doctor’s pc.
Step 14: Launch the application.
Step 15: Display the receiving data i.e., patient’s parameters
and location.
Step 16: Record the data when doctor clicks on enable
logging.
Step 17: Display patient’s history when doctor clicks on
show history.
Step 18: Show patients location on map when document
clicks on “locate patient”
Step 19: Doctor can adjust the threshold values for heart
Beat and temperature.
Step 20: An alert will be raised when the predefined
threshold values are crossed.
Step 21: End.
5. FEATURES
Features of our project as follows:
1. Highly compact portable.
2. Low power consumption
3. Real tine monitoring of
patient’s vital parameters like

heartbeat, temperature and
blood pressure.
6. RESULT
Here developed an android application for receiving the
medical parameters and displayed on android mobile with
the help of wi-fi module. Monitor can reduce hospitalization
in the short term and prevent or delay complications from
disease, such as temperature, blood pressure, humidity,
pulse rate and heart related diseases.
