INTRODUCTION

In India, everyday many lives are affected because the patients are not timely and properly
treated. Also for real time parameter values are not efficiently measured in clinic as well as in
hospitals. Sometimes it becomes difficult for hospitals to frequently check patient’s
conditions. Also continuous monitoring of ICU patients is not possible. To deal with these
types of situations, our system is beneficial. Our system is designed to be used in hospitals for
measuring and monitoring various parameters like temperature, ECG, heart beat etc. The
results can be recorded using Raspberry Pi displayed on a LCD display. Doctors can login to
a website and view those results. Health is one of the global challenges for humanity. In the
last decade the healthcare has drawn considerable amount of attention. The prime goal was to
develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcare professionals can monitor
the patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily life activities.
Recently, the patient monitoring systems is one of the major advancement because of its
improved technology. Currently, there is need for a modernized approach. In the traditional
approach the healthcare professionals play the major role. They need to visit the patient’s
ward for necessary diagnosis and advising. There are two basic problems associated with this
approach. Firstly, the healthcare professionals must be present on site of the patient all the
time and secondly, the patient remains admitted in a hospital, bedside biomedical
instruments, for a period of time. In order to solve these two problems, the patients are given
knowledge and information about disease diagnosis and prevention. Secondly, a reliable and
readily available patient monitoring system (PMS) is required. In order to improve the above
condition, we can make use of technology in a smarter way. In recent years, health care
sensors along with raspberry pi play a vital role. Wearable sensors are in contact with the
human body and monitor his or her physiological parameters. We can buy variety of sensors
in the market today such as ECG sensors, temperature sensors, pulse monitors etc. The cost
of the sensors varies according to their size, flexibility and accuracy. The Raspberry Pi which
is a cheap, flexible, fully customizable and programmable small computer board brings the
advantages of a PC to the domain of sensor network.

1. IoT Based Health-Care System Using Raspberry Pi

Author:- Sangle Sagar , Deshpande Niranjan , Vadane Pandurang ,Dighe M.

Nowadays in healthcare monitoring system it is necessary to constantly monitor the patient’s

physiological parameters. This system presents a monitoring system that has the capability to
monitor physiological parameters from patient body at every 10 seconds. A sensor node has
attached on patient body to collect all the signals from the wireless sensors and sends them to
the BSN care node. The attached sensors on patient’s body form a wireless body sensor
network (WBSN) and they are able to sense the heart rate, Temperature of surrounding. This
system is mainly to detect abnormal conditions in human body and abnormal physiological
parameters. The main advantage of this system in comparison to previous systems is to
reduce the energy consumption to prolong the network lifetime, speed up and extend the
communication coverage to increase patient quality of life.

2. An IOT Based Health Care Monitoring System-A Review

Author:- Sneha N. Malokar , Samadhan D. Mali

Generally in critical case patients are supposed to be monitored continuously for their Heart
Rate, oxygen saturation level and temperature as well. In the previous methods, the doctors
need to be present physically on sight or in several cases SMS will be sent using GSM. In the
earlier case only current data is displayed, the history of the patient cannot be displayed. In
the current paper, we are analyzing different methods and techniques used for health care
monitoring system where doctor can continuously monitor the patient's condition on his
smart phone and also the patient history will be stored on the web server and doctor can
access the information whenever needed from anywhere.
3. REVIEW ON-IOT BASED SMART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Author:- Ashlesha A. Patil

This paper focus on review of IoT based Smart Healthcare System. The main objective of this
proposed system is to transmitting the patient’s health monitoring parameters through wireless
communication. These input data are uploaded in cloud server and transmitted to the computer and
mobile for family and doctor’s reference. Advances in information and communication technologies
have lead to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT). In the modern health care environment, the
usage of IoT technologies brings convenience of physicians and patients, since they are applied to
various medical areas (such as real-time monitoring, patient information management, and
healthcare management). The body sensor network (BSN) technology is one of the core technologies
of IoT developments in healthcare system, where a patient can be monitored using a collection of
tiny powered and lightweight wireless sensor nodes. However, the development of this new
technology in healthcare applications without considering security makes patient privacy vulnerable.
In this paper, at first, we highlight the major security requirements in BSN-based modern healthcare
system. Subsequently, we propose a secure IoT-based healthcare system using BSN, called BSN-Care,
which can efficiently accomplish those requirements.

WORK DONE

Selecting a good project is very essential, because it is an excellent opportunity to transform

your classroom knowledge to real world solutions. So, while selecting a project you should
be very conscious, because, that should make you to speak confidently about that particular
domain.

So, I want to do my ME project. Firstly I need to fixed my domain. Then I find that after
searching I decided that to implement the project in embedded domain.

Then I read some IEEE paper related to the embedded domain. Finaly I got the project “A
SECURE IOT BASED MODERN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM USING RPI” .
After I submited this paper to guide, I gave presentation on this topic. After that on given
date I submited the synopsis to guide.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC??

EXISTING SYSTEM:-

In existing system data get monitoring using person’s heartbeat was generally measured
personally by connecting patch cord on their chest. This created a problem to keep a tab on
patient’s health and provide treatment in case of emergency. Lately, measurement of
Heartbeat and Temperature is done with the help of stethoscope and thermometer which
require personal visit. GSM module also Use for updating patient Health Parameter. But
because of GSM range limitations GSM not use widely.

So this is already existing.
