Abstract: Telemedicine is widely considered to be part of the inevitable future of the modern practice of medicine. It is
gaining more and more momentum as a new approach for patient’s surveillance outside of hospitals (at home). Nowadays
people are more aware of the health conditions. This proposed system tests the health conditions of an individual by
measuring his/her blood pressures, heart rate and temperature using Blood pressure monitor device, Heart beat sensor,
Temperature sensor respectively. Monitoring health parameters get display on LCD, and if these monitoring parameters
enter in critical section then these parameters send through an alert SMS. SMS can be transmitted using the GSM
technology to the doctor and advises can be sought for saving the life of the patient.
Keywords: GSM, ARM, LCD, BP monitoring device, heart beat sensor, temperature sensor.
I. INTRODUCTION
According to estimate, given by the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease kills almost seventeen
million people around the globe each year along with twenty million people at a risk of sudden heart failure. Some of these lives
can often be saved if acute care and surgery is provided within the so-called golden hour. So the need for advice on first hand
medical attention and promotion of good health by patient monitoring and follow-up becomes inevitable. Hence, patients who
are at risk require that their cardiac health and BP level to be monitored frequently whether they are indoors or outdoors so that
emergency treatment is possible. This project is developed for the Doctors to test the heart rate, temperature and blood pressure
of the patient. If anything strange inform the doctor through SMS. When patient measures their body parameters, it gets
displayed on LCD using ARM7. If the parameter value is below or above a certain range, ARM7 sends signal to the GSM
controlling circuit. The GSM unit sends SMS to the Doctor. The mobile of doctor receives the SMS and accordingly displays
the status of the heartbeat, blood pressure and temperature.
We describe a telemedicine system based on mobile messaging service namely: Short Messaging Service (SMS), which is
an integral part of the original 2G GSM cellular system and subsequent generations since all new phones are SMS capable.
II. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The proposed BP level, heart rate, Body temperature Tele-Alert system is shown in figure 1 our model consists of cuff in
which air is pumped through motor, then the pressure sensor senses the body blood pressure. Temperature sensor senses the
Body temperature. Heart rate device senses the heart rate from the fingertip using IR reflection method this signal then given to
operational amplifier that picks up the bio signal and given to ARM 7. Inbuilt ADC digitizes the analog signal coming from
monitoring devices; the digitized signal is simultaneously given to LCD and GSM MODEM. GSM modem forwards the health
checkup report to doctor’s mobile using 2G technology.
