GSM Based Advanced Digital Thermometer with Data Storage in Memory Card

Abstract: This Paper discusses an Advanced Digital Thermometer which highlights the novel idea of adding a database storage facility along with GSM based communication to conventional Thermometer. Microcontroller based embedded system is designed using PIC controller which records body temperature of a patient and stores it in memory card periodically for future reference. The temperature is stored in the database with its date and time. We also propose forwarding the stored data directly to doctor using GSM communication. The Embedded system is designed and simulated in Proteus simulator. Test results are also compared with a conventional Thermometer. This system is beneficial to the aged people who find it difficult to visit doctors on a regular basis just to check the body temperature.
