TEMPERATURE DETECTION FOR FEVER PATIENTS USING RFID AND GSM MODEM

Life-threatening fever such as Malaria and Typhoid are treated manually at most of the hospitals nowadays. The nurses have to check the temperature and pulses of suspected victims at certain hours in a day. What makes it dangerous is that in between the interval hour, the patient is all alone without supervision from the nurse or the doctor. If at this time the temperature of the patient is suddenly rising over 39˚C, it can be fatal. Besides, patient‟s blood sample needs to be taken when his/her body temperature is at the highest level to confirm the diagnosis of the disease and identify the infectious parasites. This project “Body temperature detection system for malaria and typhoid fever patient using RFID and GSM network” comes into picture. As the temperature of the patient exceeds the limits, RFID active tag will be triggered, communicate with the RFID reader at nurse‟s station, notify nurse through alert popup and then, nurse will SMS to the doctor on duty using GSM Modem. With this, the patient will receive the right treatment at the right time.
