PATIENT HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM WITH LOCATION DETAILS BY GPS OVER GSM

Abstract

The main intention of this project is to design a system which is capable to monitor body’s parameters
continuously. Another intention is to track patient’s current location using GPS. Thus, it sends message to the
concerned authority by SMS using GSM. This project uses a microcontroller of the 8051 family and a rectified power
supply. In this system, the GPS and GSM modem are interfaced to the microcontroller with the MAX-232 device for
communication with the unit. A digital temperature sensor, blood pressure along with heartbeat sensor are duly
interfaced to the microcontroller to act as monitoring of the patient’s body temperature. A 16*2 LCD display is
interfaced to the microcontroller for displaying the information locally. Whenever the body’s one of these ailments
exceeds the set point, then the microcontroller processes the details and sends them to the concerned authority by an
SMS through the GSM modem. The location of the person is also sent with the help of the GPS providing longitude
and latitude values. The sending and receiving information is also displayed on the LCD.
