Abstract

The high mortality rate associated with cardiovascular related diseases requires the implementation of a personalised, ubiquitous health monitoring system. With the recent advancements of wireless sensor network technologies, these study proposes a real time data acquisition and monitoring system for patients with a track history of coronary heart diseases based on the implementation of a microcontroller, GSM Module and temperature sensors. This pervasive healthcare system will provide a round the clock monitoring and has an in built alerting mechanism for detecting anomalies in cardiac activities. The aim of the study is to minimize the need for caretakers and help the gravely ill senior citizens to survive an independent life. Apart from that, this study will help reduce the mortality rate of victim by shortening the response time of medical team to the victims. In these study, the proposed design mechanism will consider the following key criteria namely safety, data security, energy efficiency, durability and cost incurred.
