Communication between a mobile phone client and a remote Smartphone (or PDA) consultation/server unit is achieved through programming the client using attention commands (at commands), and the protocol description unit (PDU) mode. The experimental setup can be operated for monitoring from anywhere covered by the Cellular (GSM) service by exchanging SMS messages with the remote mobile device. At the consultation unit, a dedicated application software is required to manage the follow of SMS messages from the mobile and display the temperature and heart beat of the patient.
I. Introduction This paper presents a prototype machine-to-machine (M2M) healthcare solution that combines mobile and IPv6 techniques in a wireless sensor network to monitor the health condition of patients and provide a wide range of effective, comprehensive, and convenient healthcare services. A low-power embedded wearable sensor measures the health parameters dynamically, and is connected, according to the concept of IPv6 over lowpower wireless personal area network, to the M2M node for wireless transmission through the internet or external IP-enabled networks via the M2M gateway. A visualization module of the server program graphically displays the recorded biomedical signals on Android mobile devices used by patients and doctors at the end of the networks in real-time. Our approach for a global M2M healthcare solution is managed to process the large amount of biomedical signals through the extended network combining IPv6 technique and mobile technology for daily lifestyle to users appropriately. ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, a place in the hospital where very ill patients are monitored very closely. Typically, the patientstaff ratio is very low and the LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT used is very advanced Generally ICU is a hospital facility for provision of intensive nursing and medical care of critically ill patients, characterized by high quality and quantity of continuous nursing and medical supervision and by use of sophisticated monitoring and resuscitative equipment The patients in the ICU need a constant monitoring of their Temperature, and heart beat. This project is a working model, which incorporates sensors to measure important parameters namely the temperature, Respiratory temperature, Heart Beat the sensors are interfaced to computer, so that the condition of a patient can be analyzed by doctors in any part of the hospital wherever they are. Whenever there is an abnormality felt by the patient, the particular patient will give an alarm signal, by which the doctor can rush to the patient. Even when the patient is in an unconscious condition, all the parameters will be sensed and doctor will be cautioned, thus it reduces doctor’s workload and also gives more accurate results. Our project is a working model which incorporates sensors to measure all these parameters like body temperature and Heart Beat rate and transfer it to the ARM 11 SMARTPHONE, so that the patient condition can be analyzed to by doctors in any part of the hospital wherever they are. Thus it reduces doctors work load and also gives more accurate results, wherever there is an abnormality felt by the patient, we © 2013, IJARCST All Rights Reserved

The receiver end is equipped with arm11 enabled Smartphone. This is attached to the PC to check the status of the patient. IV. Heart Beat Rate Monitoring The heart (Latin cor) is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The term cardiac means “related to the heart”, from the Greek kardia (καρδια) for “heart. The Heart Sounds are the noises a physician listens to using a stethoscope over the heart. They are the noises 86

International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science & Technology (IJARCST 2015) This thermostat exhibits a large change in resistance with a change in the body temperature. Initially hardware part is calibrated to room temperature. The thermostat part is attached to the patient whose temperature has to be measured, which changes the resistance value and thus the corresponding change in the temperature is displayed on the monitor. If the temperature exceeds the limit, the alarm, indicates it.
of the heart valves shutting These noises are not the same as the pulse, or the artery turbulence noises listened to when taking Blood Pressure. There are normal two distinct heart sounds, often called a lub and a dub .Heart Rate Ranges from 20 to 300 beats per minute Ave – 220 – Age = ?, Target 50 to 80% If rate is less than 50, or more than 90, Indicate with the LED & Alarm
VII. Patient Calling Switch Thro Drowse Sensor The patient calling Switch consists switch which has to be pressed when the patient needs Nurse / Doctors attention VIII. SMS Facility Short Message Service – SMS, available on digital networks allowing text messages of up to 160 characters to be sent and received via the network operator’s message center to the mobile phones, or from the Internet, using a SMS gateway website. If the Mobile phone is switched off or out of range, unlike paging, but similar to e-mail, short messages are stored and forwarded at the next opportunity. In this Project, we can send the Parameter monitored to the Mobile Phone as per the requirements.
V. Blood Pressure Monitoring Blood pressure is the amount of force exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries. Usually, blood pressure is expressed in two numbers, such as 120/80, and is measured in millimeter
There are two measurements of blood pressure. “Diastolic” pressure (the bottom number) means the base level of pressure in the arterial system when the heart is momentarily relaxed between beats. “Systolic” pressure (the top number) is the force with which each pulse of blood presses against the arterial walls, as the heart pumps blood out. The top number, or systolic blood pressure (SBP) reflects the pressure in the arteries when the heart is pumping. The bottom number or the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) represents the arterial pressure when the heart is resting. VI. Body Temperature Body temperature is a measure of the body’s ability to generate and get rid of heat. The body is very good at keeping its temperature within a narrow, safe range in spite of large variations in temperatures outside the body. A normal body temperature is usually referred to as an oral temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C), but that is an average of normal body temperatures. Thermostat is used for the measurement of body temperature. This thermostat is a passive transducer where output depends on the excitation voltage applied to it. We have arranged the thermostat in the form of potential driver in the circuit. www.ijarcst.com

communications, reigns as the world’s most widely used cell phone technology. Cell phones use a cell phone service carrier’s GSM network by searching for cell phone towers in the nearby area. GSM circuit receives message and give it to the microcontroller, then microcontroller sends the appropriate message to user using GSM module. X. Heart Beat Sensor • First place a sensitive vibration sensor near the heart, and sense the vibration frequency. • The output will not be just two pulses per beat (lub-dub) but many other frequency voltages will be involved. • Use a CRO to see the waveform, and filter in the range of 0.5Hz to 2Hz, as the rate is nominally 1.2hz. The readings of pulse meters are accurate enough when they count from your finger, A normal, healthy, human heart beats about 72 times per minute.

Acknowledgment We are thanks to our beloved parents and brother, sisters, friends for their supports and encouragements. XIII. Conclusion Telemedicine is a comprehensive medical monitoring and diagnostic system that integrates clinical healthcare data delivery, organization of medical information, and management services. With the connection established between two ends we can also send patient’s body temperature, blood pressure to doctor’s side. In essence, it uses communications equipment to link healthcare practitioners with patients in different and distant locations. Long term nursing facility care is a subject that is often forgotten in today’s health care debates. Long term care is also often conjures intensive.
