MONITORING SYSTEM

WHY MONITORING?
“ India has just one doctor for every 1,700 people” ~ Survey, 2014

 Statistics reveal that every minute a human is losing his/her life across the
Globe.
 More close in India, everyday many lives are affected by heart attacks and
more importantly because the patients did not get timely and proper help.
 Majority of ICUs in India are being run as open or semi closed units, with
unaccountable custodians.

 OBJECTIVES AND APPROACH

 To design and develop a reliable, energy efficient patient

monitoring system, that is able to send parameters of patient in
real time.
 It enables the doctors to monitor patient’s health parameters
(temperature, heartbeat, position) in real time.
 Here the parameters of patient are measured continuously
(temperature, heartbeat) and wirelessly transmitted using ZigBee.
 Any abnormality felt by the patient is indicated by an alarm signal.
 This project provides a solution for enhancing the reliability and
flexibility by improving the performance and power management
of the patient monitoring system.

WORKING
1. Different sensors are connected to the patient’s body at appropriate
positions to collect real time data about his health.
2. These data are then compared to standard threshold values to check
if the patient is in normal condition.
3. Accordingly, the information about the patient is updated in the
database on doctors PC.
4. Continuous monitoring of health parameters of the patient is being
achieved by wireless transmission of sensors output through ZigBee
technology.
5. In case of any emergency condition, an alarm is also sent to the
doctor’s mobile in the form of a SMS alert, through GSM modem
describing that immediate visit is required by the doctor.

 IMPLEMENTATION
1. ARM PROCESSOR
 ARM is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor.
 The parameters to be monitored are sensed using respective sensor and
data is feed to ARM.
 This unit is the heart of the complete system.
 It will monitor & control all the peripheral devices or components
connected in the system

2. HEART SENSOR

7
 Heart beat sensor is designed to give digital output of heart beat when a
finger is placed inside it.
 This digital output can be connected to ARM directly to measure the Beats
per Minute (BPM) rate.
 ICLM358 is used for this sensor. Its dual low power operational amplifier
consists of a super bright red LED and light detector. One will act as
amplifiers and another will be used as comparator.
 When heart pumps a pulse of blood through blood vessels, finger becomes
slightly more opaque so less light reach at the detector.
 With each heart pulse, the detector signal varies which is converted to
electrical pulse.
 It works on the principle of light modulation by blood flow through finger in
each pulse.

3. TEMPERATURE SENSOR- LM35

 LM35 series are precision integration-circuit temperature sensors whose

output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature.
 The LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide
typical accuracies.
 This is three legs IC that directly gives analog output.
 This unit requires +5V DC for it proper operation.
9
4. ZIGBEE
 ZigBee is Wireless Networking Technology and is an established set of
specifications for wireless personal area networking (WPAN), i.e., digital
radio connections between computers and related devices.

 Two addressing modes; 16-bit short and 64-bit IEEE addressing.

 Power management to ensure low power consumption.

 Low latency.

10
 APPLICATIONS

 Digital Heart rate monitoring

 Patient Monitoring system

 Bio Feedback control of robotics and application.

 ADVANTAGES

 Easy and Reliable for Doctors:

 In a hospital, either the nurse or the doctor has to move physically from one
person to another for health check, which may not be possible to monitor
their conditions continuously.
 Thus any critical situations cannot be found easily unless the nurse or doctor
checks the person’s health at that moment.
 Reduces strain of the doctors who have to take care of a lot number of
people in the hospital.
 Increase efficiency:
 The number of nurses required for keeping a check on patients in ICU can
be reduced to a large extent.
 More Accurate:
 Chances of human error in checking different health parameters is also
reduced, also the database can be updated time to time.

12
DISADVANTAGES

• Bitter Expensive.

• Accumulation of noise with ECG signal.

• Communication for longer distance is quite difficult through

Zigbee technology

• Interference of noise in GSM modem due to high Radio

frequency signals.

• Accuracy will be less.

 

13
 CONCLUSION

 From the above designed project we can conclude that we are able
to transmit the data which is sensed from remote patient to the
doctor’s PC by using wireless transmission technology, ZigBee.

 This can be of great use in the field of medicine and helps the
doctors to keep a keen eye on the patients health.
