Such technologies allow users to monitor their health information in real time and often integrate with their smart devices, especially smart phones. Augmented Quick Health (AQH) is such an intelligent health monitoring system, which uses multiple sensors to read heartbeat, body temperature and sweat rate information. The sensor readings are used together to deter- mine the health condition of a subject. With the resulting out- put, it interacts with a smart device and data is pushed in to a robust cloud-based infrastructure via the device (e.g. smart- phone). The system is designed to be extensible and flexible, so adding new sensors and/or use-cases is straightforward. While there are other personalized health monitoring systems, AQH incor- porates location based search, presented using augmented reality, which has proven to be an effective tool in emergency situations.

INTRODUCTION Health related devices and applications are promising research area of IoT [1] and blessed by the advancement of new era of informa- tion communication technology. The true potential of health appli- cation system lies in providing real time physical information to individual. Moreover, the system can collect data from monitored individual person and accumulated data can be used to establish a 24/7 information bridge between health service consumers and service providers such as: doctors, consulting centers, diagnostic centers, clinics, hospitals, therapists, pharmacists etc. Patient mon- itoring, medication, diagnosis and health related various services can be improved enormously [2]. This paper proposing such a sys- tem that will have a linkup between smartphone and real time health monitoring. Our system is concern with making health monitoring easy, let physician or family member know about health status up- date in real time and also can find out location base emergency help station by the use of smartphone internet connection to res- cue patient in the minimum time or from the shortest distance. The Augmented Quick Health (AQH) is an intelligent system assem- bled with multiple sensors and operated by micro-controller unit (MCU) to monitor human health status in real time. From the con- nected sensors embedded on the body, it takes reading of heart- beat, body temperature and sweating. According to pre-defined logic and from resulting output, it determines the health condi- tion. Similar approaches are published before. But this system is also incorporated with location based search facility for emergency help.Proposed system will make health monitoring more efficient, user friendly and low in cost.Finding of the study is that,this system demonstrated its efficiency most of the cases perfectly. 2. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Embedded system based on health monitoring is an emerging field for research. There are some health care device and applications are available at present [8, 3] and some researchers [6] are still work- ing on the improvement of existing system. Many of them worked with the wearable devices [5]. For an instance, Chan, Selvaraj and Ferdosi [5] conducted their research on wireless patch sensor for re- mote monitoring of heart rate, respiration, activity, and falls. There are also some other groups of people who tried to monitor older people by using sensors and smart phone (i.e. Fook [6]). Simula- tion results are shown for the android device for their prototype. Another health related project U-Health has been proposed in [9] for monitoring user health status and send user health related data to the physician. However, still there are extensive research chal- lenges and issues that needs to overcome [10]. One of the major challenges which are overlooked previously by many researchers was actual device implementation according to proposed prototype [4, 5, 6]. Main focus of this paper to provide every user a complete system that provide users facility of monitoring their health status in real time and also provide them the facility of searching emer- gency help and also a chance to monitor other user’s health status in real time as well. For the experiment, a prototype of wearable device has been introduced such a way that it can demonstrate all features and can be deploy in AQH system comfortably. To making this prototype, only those sensors have been used that are related with the smartphone app features. Since normal value of heart beat is depending on age and gender, different algorithm for different age and genders have been used. Moreover, traditional abnormali- 1
