ABSTRACT
In today’s life the health monitoring is becoming important. As technology has become more advanced the
persons are becoming very busy. The problems like high blood pressure, heart attacks are increased and getting time to go
for regular health checkup has become difficult. Hence with in home the facility of getting health checked is becoming
need of world. The aim of this project is to use embedded information and mobile communication technologies for health
care.
Also patient living in a remote area might seek medical advice from a specialist far away. Remote health
monitoring devices fill this gap. These devices eliminate the need for the patient to visit a doctor. It allows remote
collection of patient data through a SIM 300 modem. These devices also allow the specialist to communicate feedback to
the patient which is remotely, using SMS alerts. In this system clinical data of patient is taken and sent to a android O.S
based mobile for processing and may trigger necessary SMS action.

INTRODUCTION
Heart attack is the leading causes of hospitalization for the elderly. The chances of surviving after heart attack are
much greater if the senior gets help within time [1]. The elderly or people with disabilities want to remain in their homes
even when their health condition has been getting worse. Hence health monitoring using wearable sensor and mobile
phones has become need of today [2]. Depending on the situation the smart phone can automatically alert regarding health
for patients and aged people. Taking clinical data of a user and sending it to an Android based mobile for processing and it
will trigger necessary actions. The process can take place anywhere, anytime also gives great freedom to system users.
Figure 1.shows complete architecture of system .Android operating system is an open platform and hence the cost of the
mobile monitoring system becomes less [3].
CHOICE OF HARDWARE
ARM Controller
The LPC2148 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation and
embedded trace.ARM controller is embedded high-speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. Architecture
Enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb
mode reduces code by more than 30% with high performance. Serial communications interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0
Full-speed device, multiple UARTs, SPI, I
