Expectant Mothers

As the growth of the technology rises day to day but still we cannot able to overlook any wearable device which is the friendliest one for pregnant women. Our proposed system is a wearable device which monitors the health condition of expectant mothers’ and transmits data to the respective physician especially in rural areas. With these kind of real time wearable systems, doctors are able to provide higher quality medical services and more personalized healthcare to these women. This health monitoring system would allow a pregnant woman to interact with a physician with almost full functional capability. Preventive measure taken by continuoushealth monitoringof patient from early stages and guidance to avoid prenatal risks is the prime objective of this system. It is only applicable after 16 weeks of pregnancy. The health monitoring device constantly measures the body temperature and heartbeat of the womb and whenever there are fluctuations from the normal value it sends the information to gynecologist at remote place through GSM.The usage of these advanced technologies for pregnant women’s care facilitates optimal care to them and thereby pregnancy period mortality can be reduced substantially.

Measurement Results

Heart rate and body temperature can be used to determine the vital signs of humans. Heart rate and body temperature are two important parameters used by paramedics to determine the physical health condition and mental condition of a person. Because if your heart rate or body temperature is not normal then you need to make further efforts to avoid things that are not desirable. The purpose of this study is to design a heart rate and body temperature. In this study, the heart rate is detected using a finger sensor which placed on the finger. This sensor detects the heart rate pulses through infrared absorption of blood hemoglobin, and measure the body temperature using a DS18B20 temperature sensor which is placed axially. DS18B20 sensor works by converting temperature into digital data. The measurement results will be displayed on liquid crystal display (LCD) 2 x 16 and the data will be sent to android mobile phone via Bluetooth.  After the comparision beetwen the desain and the standart, the error is 0.46% for beats per minutes (BPM) parameters and 0.31 degrees Celsius for temperature parameters.

<p>This study investigates the feasibility of photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals in monitoring health condition and designing a portable health monitoring kit which is suitable for home use. The aim of this study is to ease people in monitoring their health continuously without the need to go to the hospital which can save a lot of time. The focus of this study is to find heart rate and blood pressure recording. The type of PPG sensor used in this project is a non-invasive PPG which measures the blood volume changes in any part of the body. A total of 16 subjects consisting of male and female with age range of 20 to 60 years old were involved in this research. The heart rate and blood pressure for each subject were acquired and analyzed. Based on the result, it shows that higher heart rate reading is associated with female and younger age groups. Meanwhile, for blood pressure value, male subjects tend to have higher blood pressure as compared to female subjects. However, there is no specific pattern for blood pressure in terms of the age group. In the case of HRV analysis based on Kubios software, the SDNN value is higher for male and older age subjects. Meanwhile, the RMSSD value is lower for male and older age subjects. Therefore, PPG signal has the capability to monitor the health status of an individual, which acts as an alternative biological signal for the existing health monitoring systems.</p>

In present days, Health issues are occurring more frequently. Because of climatic changes, industrialization and technical advancement which led to reduced physical activity. Saving lives requires monitoring the health conditions of people who have chronic diseases or heart related problems. Decrease in morbidity from disease and extend lives can be achieved by earlier detection of problems. When we reach a certain age we have to keep monitoring the three vital signs of the body to extend our lives. In this paper, we are designing a healthcare monitoring system which can either monitor or measure three vital signs i.e. heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature of human body. The developed system uses wearable sensors to measure body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate. In order to minimize human involvement and respond at an appropriate time a health monitoring designed FGPA system will take the data from the sensors and analyze the date. It will give the health report, health status and alerts the concerned whenrequired.

Vital sign monitoring is an important body measurement to identify health condition and diagnose any disease and illness. In sports, physical exercise will contribute to the changes of the physiological systems, specifically for the vital signs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of physical fatigue exercise on the vital sign parameters. This is significant for the fitness identification and prediction of each individual when performing an exercise. Five male subjects with no history of injuries and random BMI were selected from students of biomedical engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Based on the relationship between physical movement and physiology, the parameters considered were heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Subjects were required to run on the treadmill at an initial speed of 4 km/h with an increase of 1 km/h at every 2 minutes interval. The effect of exercise was marked according to the fatigue protocol where the subject was induced to the maximum condition of performance. All parameters were measured twice, for pre and post exercise-induced protocol. The analysis of relationship of each parameter between pre and post fatigue was p<0.05. The results revealed that the heart rate and gap between blood pressure’s systolic and diastolic were greater for all categories except underweight, where the systolic blood pressure dropped to below 100mmHg at the end of exercise. Also, the body temperature was slightly declined to balance the thermoregulatory system with sweating. Hence, the vigorous physical movement could contribute to the active physiological system based on body metabolism. Heart rate and blood pressure presented significant effects from the fatiguing exercise whereas the body temperature did not indicate any distinguishable impact. The results presented might act as the basis of reference for physical exercise by monitoring the vital sign parameters.

Examination of vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature is the most basic essential function of the body in determining the health status of the patient. In general, examining vital signs performed by a doctor or nurse uses an electrocardiogram, thermometer, and sphygmomanometer. However, this tool has a weakness in terms of time efficiency and accuracy of reading vital sign data. The process of taking vital sign data for a long time, the limited number of medical personnel in handling patients, and increasing administrative costs certainly become a concern for management in improving health services. To overcome this problem, we proposed a design that can monitor the health condition of patients' vital signs efficiently and in real time. The system used in this study consisted of an HRM-2511E type heartbeat sensor in pulse units per minute (bpm), DS18b20 body type temperature sensor in degrees Celsius (0C), and MPX5700AP sensor in mmHg units. This research is fundamental and is useful in helping medical personnel in monitoring patients' vital sign health conditions. The results of the proposed design showed that the heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure devices worked well with respective accuracy of 97.64%, 99.51%, and 97.53%.

Heart rate (HR) is an essential indicator of health in the human body. It measures the number of times per minute that the heart contracts or beats. An irregular heartbeat can signify a severe health condition, so monitoring heart rate periodically can help prevent heart complications. This paper presents a novel wearable sensing approach for remote HR measurement by a compact resistance-to-microcontroller interface circuit. A heartbeat’s signal can be detected by a Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) attached to the body near large arteries (such as the carotid or radial), which expand their area each time the heart expels blood to the body. Depending on how the sensor interfaces with the subject, the FSR changes its electrical resistance every time a pulse is detected. By placing the FSR in a direct interface circuit, those resistance variations can be measured directly by a microcontroller without using either analog processing stages or an analog-to-digital converter. In this kind of interface, the self-heating of the sensor is avoided, since the FSR does not require any voltage or bias current. The proposed system has a sampling rate of 50 Sa/s, and an effective resolution of 10 bits (200 mΩ), enough for obtaining well-shaped cardiac signals and heart rate estimations in real time by the microcontroller. With this approach, the implementation of wearable systems in health monitoring applications is more feasible.
