13.patient Health Check Using Wireless Health Monitor
INTRODUCTION
Now Recently Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) play a vital role in the research,
technological community hence resulting in the development of various high-performance
smart sensing system. Many new research is focused at improving quality of human life in
terms of health by designing and fabricating sensors which are either in direct contact with
the human body (invasive) or indirectly (noninvasive) in contact. Health monitoring is an
informal, non-statutory method of surveying our workforce for symptoms of ill health,
including lower back pain. This type of occupational health management system can enable
us, as an employer, to be aware of health problems and intervene to prevent problems being
caused or made worse by work activities. Another important role of health monitoring is to
give feedback into a system that reviews the current control methods in place. In addition,
there are specific regulations dealing with manual handling and whole body vibration in the
workplace. To ensure we are complying with our duties under these regulations we should
refer to HSE (health system engineering) guidance, if manual handling or whole body
vibration are risks in our workplace. Whole body vibration is particularly prevalent in those
that drive industrial and parameters and the sampled parameters are wireless.

sensing and data conditioning system to acquire accurate heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, and
body temperature readings. After processing of data we have to find a proper method of
transmission and signal display. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a technology to enable
monitoring of patients outside of conventional clinical settings (e.g. in the home), which may
increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs.
To develop health monitoring system i.e. it measures body temperature and heart rate.
To design a system to store the patient data over a period of time using database

The IoT-based health monitoring system works on the principle of monitoring a
patient's body temperature and heart rate. The heart rate device is attached to the patient's
fingers and the temperature sensor is also attached to the patient's body.
changing the patient's body temperature, as well as the heart rate sensor, a vibration or flow-
based sensor whose value is transmitted in the form of electrical signal. Two sensor
measurement values are obtained by Arduino UNO, the main or intelligent controller of this
system. After receiving these values, these values are displayed on the LCD display and
There are Wi-Fi modules in the IoT system which display these values on a separate
websites and apps using Wi-Fisources, and the discussion is used here for this purpose. Using
the website or app, doctor scan track their patients' heart rate and temperature from anywhere.
In this system the two sensors are used one is temperature sensor another one is pulse rate
To operate this system user needs a Wi-Fi connection. The Arduino board connects to
Wi-Fi network using Wi-Fi module. The Arduino board reads input from the two sensors.
Then this input is sent to the IoT cloud with help of Wi-Fi module. The measured inputs are
Internet, things, Internet of things, Internet of Everything! These are some of the
buzzwords you may have been hearing, reading & very likely talking about
endlessly. These are more than just keywords; IoT (Internet of Things) is a
technology concept and/or an architecture which is an aggregation of already
available technologies. Similar to the way in which Internet has changed the
way we work & communicate by connecting us (humans) through World Wide
Web, IoT aims to take this connectivity to next level by connecting various
devices to the internet – facilitating human-machine, machine-machine
interactions also.
The visionaries have also realized that this IoT ecosystem has business
applications in areas of Home Automation, Automotive, Factory/assembly line
automation, Retail, Medical/Preventive healthcare and more.
The digital sensor outputs data in a digital format. It may already take care of
some of the data processing, like calibration and other functions. Also, it may
implement sensor fusion techniques by including several different sensors and
combining them to derive meaningful information, as in motion detection. The
analog sensor outputs raw data in analog format. There is a significant range of
analog sensors such as temperature whose output is delivered in the analog
domain. The application SoC needs to collect the output in raw format and
convert it to digital for processing. When connecting with a digital sensor
device, the IoT SoC needs to include a digital interface that complies with the
one the sensor chip is using to drive the sensor signals into the processor in the
SoC. When connecting with an analog sensor, the IoT SoC needs to convert the
sensor signal into the digital domain by means of an analog-to-digital converter
(ADC).Now that we all understand the IoT concept, it would be worthwhile to
deep dive in order to get familiar with the building blocks of IoT:
1.) Sensors & Sensor technology – They will sniff a wide variety of information
ranging from Location, Weather/Environment conditions, Grid parameters,
Movement on assembly lines, Jet engine maintenance data to Health essentials
of a patient
2.) IoT Gateways – IoT Gateways, as the name rightly suggests, are the
gateways to internet for all the things/devices that we want to interact with.
Gateways help to bridge the internal network of sensor nodes with the external
Internet or World Wide Web. They do this by collecting the data from sensor
nodes & transmitting it to the internet infrastructure.
3.) Cloud/server infrastructure & Big Data – The data transmitted through
gateway is stored & processed securely within the cloud infrastructure using
Big Data analytics engine. This processed data is then used to perform
intelligent actions that make all our devices ‘Smart Devices’!
4.) End-user Mobile apps – The intuitive mobile apps will help end users to
control & monitor their devices (ranging from room thermostat to jet engines &
assembly lines) from remote locations. These apps push the important
information on your hand-held devices & help to send commands to your Smart
Devices!
5.) IPv6 – IP addresses are the backbone to the entire IoT ecosystem. Internet is
concerned about IP addresses only & not if you are a human or a toaster. With
IPv4 we were running out of IP addresses, but with IPv6 (launched in 2012) we
now have 3.4*10^38 IP addresses!

Data Collection SENSOR
This software manages sensing, measurements, light data filtering, light
data security, and aggregation of data. It uses certain protocols to aid sensors in
connecting with real-time, machine-to-machine networks. Then it collects data
from multiple devices and distributes it in accordance with settings. It also
works in reverse by distributing data over devices. The system eventually
transmits all collected data to a central server.
Device Integration
Software supporting integration binds (dependent relationships) all
system devices to create the body of the IoT system. It ensures the necessary
cooperation and stable networking between devices. These applications are the
defining software technology of the IoT network because without them, it is not
an IoT system. They manage the various applications, protocols, and limitations
of each device to allow communication
IOT Sensor
The most important hardware in IoT might be its sensors. These devices
consist of energy modules, power management modules, RF modules, and
sensing modules. RF modules manage communications through their signal
processing, WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, radio transceiver, duplexer, and BAW.
Standard Devices
The desktop, tablet, and cellphone remain integral parts of IoT as the
command center and [Link] desktop provides the user with the highest
level of control over the system and its [Link] tablet provides access to the
key features of the system in a way resembling the desktop, and also acts as a
remote. The cellphone allows some essential settings modification and also
provides remote functionality.
Real-Time Analytics
These applications take data or input from various devices and convert it into
viable actions or clear patterns for human analysis. They analyze information
based on various settings and designs in order to perform automation-related
tasks or provide the data required by industry.
Application and Process Extension
These applications extend the reach of existing systems and software to allow a
wider, more effective system. They integrate predefined devices for specific
purposes such as allowing certain mobile devices or engineering instruments
access. It supports improved productivity and more accurate data collection.
IoT − Advantages
The advantages of IoT span across every area of lifestyle and business. Here is a
list of some of the advantages that IoT has to offer −
Improved Customer Engagement − Current analytics suffer from blind-spots
and significant flaws in accuracy; and as noted, engagement remains passive.
IoT completely transforms this to achieve richer and more effective engagement
with audiences.
Technology Optimization − The same technologies and data which improve the
customer experience also improve device use, and aid in more potent
improvements to technology. IoT unlocks a world of critical functional and field
data.
Reduced Waste − IoT makes areas of improvement clear. Current analytics give
us superficial insight, but IoT provides real-world information leading to more
effective management of resources.
Enhanced Data Collection − Modern data collection suffers from its limitations
and its design for passive use. IoT breaks it out of those spaces, and places it
exactly where humans really want to go to analyze our world. It allows an
accurate picture of everything.

ARDUINO UNO
An important aspect of the Arduino is its standard connectors, which let
users connect the CPU board to a variety of interchangeable add-on modules
termed shields. Arduino is used to communicate the input analog signals and
given an output digital signals. Arduino is have a set of arrangements that
should be in this system have an input from the Arduino UNO. That is
ultrasonic sensor for the user of the application.
An Arduino board historically consists of an Atmel 8-, 16- or 32- bit AVR
microcontroller with complementary components that facilitate programming
and incorporation into other circuits. An important aspect of the Arduino is its
standard connectors, which let users connect the CPU board to a variety of
interchangeable add-on modules termed shields. Some shields communicate
with the Arduino board directly over various pins, but many shields are
individually addressable via an I2C serial bus, so many shields can be stacked
and used in parallel. Official Arduinos had used the Atmel megaAVR series of
chips, specifically the ATmega8, ATmega168, ATmega328, ATmega1280 and
ATmega2560. These systems provide sets of digital and analog I/O pins that
can interface to various expansion boards and other circuits.
During the negative half cycle of the supply, diodes D3 and D4 conduct
in series, but diodes D1 and D2 switch “OFF” as they are now reverse biased.
The current flowing through the load is the same direction as before.
However in reality, during each half cycle the current flows through two
diodes instead of just one so the amplitude of the output voltage is two voltage
drops ( 2 x 0.7 = 1.4V ) less than the input V MAX amplitude. The ripple
frequency is now twice the supply frequency (e.g. 100Hz for a 50Hz supply or
120Hz for a 60Hz supply.)
Although we can use four individual power diodes to make a full wave
bridge rectifier, pre-made bridge rectifier components are available “off-the-
shelf” in a range of different voltage and current sizes that can be soldered
directly into a PCB circuit board or be connected by spade connectors.
The image to the right shows a typical single phase bridge rectifier with
one corner cut off. This cut-off corner indicates that the terminal nearest to the
corner is the positive or +ve output terminal or lead with the opposite (diagonal)
lead being the negative or -ve output lead. The other two connecting leads are
for the input alternating voltage from a transformer secondary winding.
Too low a capacitance value and the capacitor has little effect on the
output waveform. But if the smoothing capacitor is sufficiently large enough
(parallel capacitors can be used) and the load current is not too large, the output
voltage will be almost as smooth as pure DC.
LINEAR REGULATOR:
FIXED REGULATORS:
"Fixed" three-terminal linear regulators are commonly available to
generate fixed voltages of plus 3 v, and plus or minus 5 v, 6v, 9 v, 12 v, or 15 v,
when the load is less than 1.5 amperes.
The "78xx" series (7805, 7812, etc.) regulate positive voltages while the
"79xx" series (7905, 7912, etc.) regulate negative voltages. Often, the last two
digits of the device number are the output voltage; e.g., a 7805 is a +5 v
regulator, while a 7915 is a −15 v regulator. There are variants on the 78xx
series ICs, such as 78l and 78s, some of which can supply up to 1.5 amps.

PROTEUS
Traditionally, circuit simulation has been a non-interactive affair.
In the early days, netlists were prepared by hand, and output consisted of reams
of numbers. A pseudo -graphical output plotted with asterisks to show the
voltage and current waveforms. More recently, schematic capture and on screen
graphing have become the norm, but the simulation process is still non-
interactive - you draw the circuit, press go, and then study the results in some
kind of post processor. This is fine if the circuit you are testing is essentially
static in its behavior e.g. an oscillator which sits there and oscillates at 1MHz.
However, if you are designing a burglar alarm, and want to find out what
happens when a would-be burglar keys the wrong PIN into the keypad, the
setting up required becomes quite impractical and one must resort to a physical
prototype.
Proteus Vsm brings you the best of both worlds. It combines a superb
mixed mode circuit simulator based on the industry standard SPICE3F5 with
animated component models. And it provides an architecture in which
additional animated models may be created by anyone, including end users.
Indeed, many types of animated model can be produced without resort to
coding. Consequently PROTEUS VSM allows professional engineers to run
interactive simulations of real designs, and to reap the rewards of this approach
to circuit simulation. And then, if that were not enough, we have created a range
of simulator models for popular micro-controllers and a set of animated models
for related peripheral devices such as LED and LCD displays, keypads, an
RS232 terminal and more. Suddenly it is possible to simulate complete micro-
controller systems and thus to develop the software for them without access to a
physical prototype.
PROG
This software is used for downloading the program into PIC controller.
IC programming is the process of transferring a computer program into an
integrated computer circuit. The modern ICs are typically programmed in
circuit through a serial protocol. Some even load the data serially from a
separate flash or prom chip on every startup.

your circuit.
In this stage you choose the components you want to use, place them on the
circuit window in the desired position and orientation, wire them together, and
otherwise prepare your design. Multisim lets you modify component properties,
orient your circuit on a grid, add text and a title block, add sub circuits and
buses, and control the colour of the circuit window background, components

CONCLUSIONS
We used cloud computing mechanism to store information, this data can be stored safely over
the time and can be accessed at any moment of time. Cloud processing is additionally helpful to keep
update of patient. Specialists and doctors can easily look into the patient reports at the time of
emergency and can take appropriate steps accordingly. Hence giving proper guidance at proper time
to prevent crisis. The concerned person can deal with patient without their actual physical presence
the system automatically creates the diagram of body changes and reports to the doctor about the
recent change of evets. The body temperature parameter is so significant that a doctor can easily
predict the problem patient is going through and also will save time. The project is very helpful for the
people living in remote areas and doesn’t have access to all the medical facilities. This can be
signified as a small home clinic where u can just sit and get a regular check up done.
