Android Based Heart Monitoring and Reporting System

Abstract: Now-a-days Health care Environment has become technology oriented. Humans are facing a problem of unexpected death due to the reason of heart attack which is because of lack of medical care to patient at right time. So we are developing project to avoid such sudden death rates by using Body Area Network (BAN) technology. In this system a patient will be carrying hardware having sensors and android phone application, the sensors will sense the body temperature and heart rate of patient and these data is transformed to android smart phone via Bluetooth. Device even it allows patient to move freely and can be monitored continuously. The android phone will be containing an application which will detect the heart attack according to the received data respectively and if any abnormalities are found regarding heart attack message will be send to patient’s doctor, relatives and hospitals. The SMS contains patient’s situation and location (via GPS) to provide urgent medical attention. Simultaneously it will send important data to server which will plot graphs so that doctor can view it using URL.
Proposed system also includes telemedicine system. In which part patient can submit symptoms to the server and can get disease name and remedies respectively.
