IoT Based Automated Paralysis Patient Healthcare System using Arduino and GSM

Summary

SVS Embedded presents an IoT-based automated health care system for paralysis patients using Arduino and GSM GPRS modem. The system monitors vitals like temperature, ECG, and detects falls, with alerts sent via SMS and email. It integrates sensors for body temperature, ECG, and fall detection, and a voice module for patient requests. Data is sent to a server for health tracking, enhancing patient care with real-time monitoring and alerts.

Takeaways

• 🤖 The project is an IoT-based automated healthcare system for paralysis patients, using Arduino and GSM/GPRS modem.
• 🌡️ The system monitors patient health, including temperature, ECG, and fall detection, sending SMS and email alerts.
• 📱 It uses a web page to track patient data and provide real-time updates.
• 🧠 The system is built using an ATmega2560 Arduino board, and incorporates 7 sensors including ECG, LM35 temperature sensor, and ADXL 335 for fall detection.
• 🔊 Voice alerts are generated through an APR33A3 voice module and speaker, with pre-recorded messages for patient needs (e.g., food, water, or help).
• 📧 Alerts are sent via both SMS and email when certain thresholds are met, such as changes in temperature or detected falls.
• 🛠️ The system uses various components like 5V power supply, rectifiers, and an LCD for displaying sensor data.
• 📡 The GSM SIM800L GPRS module is used to transmit data to a server and send alerts via an Airtel 4G SIM card.
• 🩺 Each sensor input triggers different actions, like sending voice alerts, SMS, and updating the server with health data.
• 🔧 The system also has voice responses based on finger movements, such as 'I need water,' 'I need food,' or 'I need to go to the washroom,' which are linked to specific sensors.
