An Innovative Approach to Health Monitoring System and Speaking Medication Remainder for Visually Challenged/ Elderly Patients

Abstract– In the modern era, maintaining health is a critical issue and many efforts are being made to overcome this. Currently, there is a necessity for a modernized and time-efficient approach. Our primary goal is to develop a reliable patient monitoring system that rests on the concept of biotelemetry which in turn will reduce the frequent visit of patients to the hospital, especially for visually challenged, mentally retarded, infants and elderly patients. This system will also help in reducing the finance charge on an individual. Hence, our proposed idea is to continuously monitor the patient’s physiological behavior, providing real-time monitoring and to update their data at regular time intervals using IoT Platform. This system will reduce the staff required in the ICU, as the results will be directly sent to doctors via SMS. In addition to this medication, the remainder is included as an additional feature to prevent life-threatening mistakes. If the obtained data are not in the range, the corresponding LED indicator will glow and the respective notification will be provided by the speaker. The major reasons for the development of this system is to reduce product size, power consumption, and cost of the system.The overall advantage of the system is Raspberry pi which can monitor all of these parameters more effectively.
