Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Healthcare is given extreme importance by each country since the covid pandemic had taken place. The health monitoring system is the best solution for tracking our health regularly. The system has wearable sensors to measure vital signs such as Blood Pressure, Pulse rate, Oxygen Level, Body Temperature in a single system. The speciality of this system is that we can track patient’s health from a far distance also since the system can be connected wirelessly to our mobile , laptop etc through Bluetooth or wifi. This system has the potential to reduce hospital visits and then individuals can take control of their health as well. This system ensures data privacy and security. We can store the patient’s data in the server utilizing Wi-fi module. Thus Patient health monitoring system based uses internet to effectively monitor patient health and helps the user monitoring their loved ones from work and saves lives.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Health is always a major concern in every growth the human race is advancing in terms of technology. The Corona Virus pandemic has ruined the economy of China is an example how health care has become very important. These systems allow for continuous monitoring of health parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, offering a proactive approach to healthcare. The core objective of this project is the design and implementation of a smart patient health tracking system that uses Sensors to track patient health and uses internet to inform their loved ones in case of any issues. This system has wearable sensors which tracks vital signs such blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and oxygen level. Patients can use this technology to record their health conditions on their phones.

These systems offer the potential to track and analyze vital health parameters in real time, allowing for early detection of health issues and reducing the burden on healthcare infrastructure. This system has data privacy and security and can store the patient’s data utilizing Wi-fi module.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

A. Historical Development

1. Overview of Health Monitoring System: Early health monitoring relied on in-person check-ups and paper-based records. In the 1960s, the first wearable devices appeared, primarily for military and research purposes. By the 1990s, advancements in sensors, wireless communication, and computing allowed for more practical health monitoring tools.

B. Technological Innovations:

1. Wearable sensors: Measure vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG.
2. Wireless communication: Bluetooth and 5G enable real-time data transmission.

C. Performance Evaluation:

1. Battery Life: It has a good battery life especially for long term monitoring.
2. Data Security: This system also ensures that the health data is encrypted.

D. User Experience and Acceptance:

User experience (UX) and acceptance of health monitoring systems (HMS) are crucial for their success. A well-designed HMS encourages user engagement through intuitive interfaces and tailored feedback, fostering long-term use.

III. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Many existing health monitoring systems fail to provide a seamless user experience, leading to low adoption rates and inconsistent usage. Issues such as complex interfaces, lack of personalization, inadequate data privacy measures, and limited accessibility for diverse user groups hinder the effectiveness of these systems in improving health outcomes.  This research aims to identify and analyze these challenges to propose solutions for enhancing user engagement and the overall effectiveness of health monitoring systems.

IV. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
