ABSTRACT:- Moving into a new era of healthcare, new tools
and devices are developed to extend and improve health
services, such as remote patient monitoring and risk
prevention. In this concept, Internet of Things (IoT) and
Cloud Computing present great advantages by providing
remote and efficient services. In India many patients are
dying because of heart attacks and reason behind that they
are not getting timely and proper help. To give them timely
and proper help first we want to continuous monitoring of
patient health. The fixed monitoring system can be used only
when the patient is on the bed and this system is only
available in hospitals. The system is developed for home use
by patients that are not in critical condition but need to be
constant or periodically monitored by clinician or family. In
any critical condition the SMS is send to doctor or any family
member. In this paper, a prototype of a wireless health
monitoring system capable of sending SMS related to the
health status of the patient is developed.

1. INTRODUCTION
Body sensor network systems can help people by
providing healthcare services such as medical monitoring,
memory enhancement, medical data access, and
communication with the healthcare provider in emergency
situations through the SMS or GPRS. Continuous health
monitoring with wearable or clothing-embedded
transducers and implantable body sensor networks will
increase detection of emergency conditions in at risk
patients. Not only the patient, but also their families will
benefit from these. Also, these systems provide useful
methods to remotely acquire and monitor the physiological
signals without the need of interruption of the patient’s
normal life, thus improving life quality. Now days, heart
diseases are exceeds up to dangerous level which leads to
death of human being. Monitoring the patient constantly is
difficult or doctors are also unable to monitor particular
patient for total working hours. In many critical conditions
such as patient is located far away from hospitals or also in
case of old patient who suffering with heart diseases and
physical disorders. This module consists of heart rate
sensor and temperature sensor which measures the heart
rate and body temperature and sends SMS through GSM
module to the medical advisory for the preliminary
precautions so that patient can be prevented from serious
situations before reaching to the hospital. The data are
stored in the cloud for the physician reference.
2. HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM
The proposed system mainly focuses on the
situation where the doctors and patients are at distant
location and it is very important to give the entire details
about the heart beat and temperature of the patient to the
doctor. In “WIRELESS HUMAN HEALTH MONITOR” system,
the parameters of the patient’s health details such as heart
beat and temperature are measured using pulse sensor and
temperature sensor. The data collected by these sensors
are sent to the arduino. The arduino then transmits the
data to the user in the form of SMS using GSM modem. The
recordings of patient health parameters are sent as an SMS
to a doctor or a family member which have been given as
the recipient. Not only we send the information through
GSM module as an SMS also stores data in the cloud.
Arduino UNO board continuously read input from these
two sensors then it sends the data to the cloud by sending
this data to a particular URL. Then this action of sending
data to IP is repeated after a particular interval of time.
2.1 ARDUINO UNO
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based
on the ATmega 328.The Arduino Uno can be powered via
the USB connection or with an external power supply. The
power source is selected automatically. The Arduino Uno
has a number of facilities for communicating with a
computer, another arduino or other microcontrollers. The
Arduino software includes a serial monitor which allows
simple textual data to be sent to and from the arduino
board. The Arduino Uno can be programmed with the
arduino software.

The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit
LM35 temperature sensors, whose output voltage is
linearly proportional to Celsius temperature. The LM35
