Cardiac Patients Monitoring at a Distance

Nowadays, the number of heart attack patients is increasing day by day. Though it is tough to save heart attack patients, we can increase the statistics of saving the lives of those patients as well as the lives of those whom the heart attack patients are responsible for. The main design of this project is to track heart attack patients suffering a heart attack during driving, send them medical help and stop the vehicle they are driving to ensure that the persons along them are spared from accidents. An eye blinking sensor is used to monitor the eye blinking rate and a spO2 sensor is used to check the pulse rate of the patient. Both are connected to a micro controller. If eye blinking stops, then the signal is sent to the controller to make an alarm through the buffer. If the spO2 sensor perceives a variation in the pulse rate or low oxygen content in the blood, which may result in heart failure, then the controller stops the motor of the vehicle. Then, a Tarang F4 transmitter is used to sent the vehicle number and the mobile phone number of the patient to the nearest medical station within 25 km for medical aid. The pulse rate monitored via LCD .The Tarang F4 receiver acquires the signal and passes through the controller, the number gets displayed on the LCD screen and an alarm is produced through a buzzer as soon the signal is received. Five topics are discussed in this project: detecting the patient BPM and the eye blinking status; transmitting via Tarang F4 in case of abnormalities in the patient; the patient status is displayed and indicated by a buzzer; the hospital unit receives the patient¿s mobile phone number and car number and the communication between the vehicle and the hospital through Tarang F4.
