Abstract— As the population is increasing worldwide, a huge need arises to provide proper health-care services. India is such a country, where the population keeps on rising every year and the government is not able to provide basic health care check-ups due to lack of a number of doctors in the country. The research focuses on measuring basic health parameters like pulse rate and body temperature using a microcontroller and develop an android app for appointment of doctor. In conventional system, patients have to physically wait in queues in order to get the appointment. The main objective of this paper is to reduce the time for the appointment and to increase the number of patients per day by doctor, as we know doctors per 1000 person is …show more content…
In India doctors per 1000 people is 0.7[1]. People suffer a lot due to a large number of lines in government hospitals. So, I have designed a health monitoring system along with appointment system. In this system, the health sensing device will collect the health monitored parameters and will display on the LCD. Then the patient will fill all his details on android app and fill the data from the health monitored device, transmit data to the cloud and get quick appoint. With this patient doesn’t have to wait in queues. These parameters check-up takes at least 2 to 3 minutes and by this doctor checking-ups of patients in a single day decreases by 20%. In earlier papers the researchers have used temperature sensor and pulse rate using Arduino and have transmitted data to through Zigbee[2]. Because they have used Arduino that does not make it cost effective and portable. As in this research work one IR sensor and one temperature sensor interfaced with PIC microcontroller along with an android app, which will schedule the appointment to the patient.This proposed work provide significance as, Using online scheduling it lesser the pain of the patient for booing appointment slot. This also saves monetary expenses of the staff paper work. This system also helps to check basic health …show more content…

A.Microcontroller
PIC18F452 microcontroller is used in this proposed work. Microcontroller has analyzed the ADC data and send the data and commands to the LCD to display heart rate and pulse rate on the LCD.
B. Sensors
Two sensors are used in this health monitoring system one is pulse rate sensor and other is temperature sensor.
A pulse rate sensor is used in order to check the heart rate of patient as a clinical data by using TCRT 1000 sensor. This sensor is based on IR technology. IR (TRCT1000) sensors are used in this thesis work for detecting the pulses of at the tip of the finger. It is a reflective type IR sensor which is working on 950nm range of light. IR detector is also inbuilt in this IR sensor. It provides fluctuation of pulses in MV range[4].
The second parameter that we have calculated is body temperature by using a 10k NTC thermistor. This works with a principal of temperature and resistance relationship. The thermostat that we have used in our work is NTC (negative temperature coefficient) means an increasing resistance temperature decreases and vice
Introduction Health is the way that gives a freedom from disease and sickness. Technological innovation has yielded a phenomenal growth in health care to deliver good health practice and patient outcome. One of the paramount outcome from technology in health care is ehealth. ehealth is an emerging practice in the fields of health and medical, that is delivered through technology by communication and information technologies to improve efficiency, effectiveness and quality of clinical and business process that are in practice by healthcare institutions for better healthcare even in remote places. Using ehealth will help in advanced quality of care, minimises the medical errors and from the organizational view it helps in financial aspects and is easy to work 2.
For each table: 1) Obtain the timestamp. 2) Call the service retrieve patient data, update all changes after comparing the timestamp. 3) After patient’s personal information, exercise and the requirements are downloaded comparing the timestamp. Loop through all the records; if data already exists, update it, else insert it. 4) Patients Last visited information and the recorded information are posted back to the server only if a field completed is false.
Medical technologies and apps are relevant to solving most of the challenges affecting Suburban Independent Clinic(SIC). The implementation of mobile technologies will improve the efficient and effective delivery of care to the patients visiting the clinic. Mobile devices and its application will facilitate SIC patients to have 24/7 access to their medical records, refill their prescriptions, complete medical forms online, send emails and video chat with their doctors, thus leading to a better opportunity of managing their conditions. Patients will have other options available for scheduling their appointments. With improved mobile technology and apps, patients could schedule their appointments using text messaging, email, web app.
M1, Introduction There is always a question which can’t be answered by scientist all of which relate to the perceptions of science as there is difference in how science is currently addressed. Also, people have different believes, opinions and interpretation of science in general. Questions science is currently addressing- cure for cancer?
Since its startup in 2005 its mission to disrupt the slow moving world of health care by providing a free service of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to doctors and their facilities. This system will benefit doctors by cutting down cost, decrease medical errors, decrease mishandled or forgotten messages. It will help the overall goal of medical errors. It improves accuracy through record legibility and record
These results are not completely logically due to the fact of the unavailability there is of this technology, not all collegiate and youth programs are going to have access to telemedicine, making it not logical. Aside from this, the information is still reliable and sufficient. The authors organized the information all in one section, but inside of this it is still relatively simple to
PCPI- Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement In American Medical Association PCPI is oriented to improve the quality, and value of care to the patients by various programs including maintenance of clinical performance measures which are evidence based, measurement science, improvement of the quality of care with the help of National Quality Registry Network (NQRN).(1) NQF – National quality forum A membership based organization that works for improvements in quality of healthcare. It implements a national strategic plan for healthcare quality measurement and reporting.
The Effects of Regulations on Managed Care and IDS Managed Care is a health care delivery system organized to manage cost. The legal and business imperatives of managed care pervade our national healthcare system, the regulation of managed care depends on who contributes to the plan and who bears the risk for paying for the insured services. More than 170 million Americans receive health care coverage or benefits through some type of "managed care" setting.1 By 2007 about 20 percent of these services are directly provided by a health maintenance organization (HMO), while the majority are served through other managed arrangements, 60 percent in Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) and 13 percent in Point of Service (POS) plans. Beginning
1.Identify the problem being addressed and is it a new problem or a well known problem? There are a variety of wearable sensors like location beacons, accelerometers, cameras, and physiological sensors. But then, there is a need to develop a single device that can monitor a wealth of activities. Secondly, there is a need to develop tools and techniques for continuously sensing user activities of interest, in order to develop a variety of truly ubiquitous computing applications.
The platelets continue to pile up and released chemicals until a clot is formed. Negative feedback, the output enhances the original effect of the stimulus. The thermostat contains the receptor (thermometer) and control center. If the heating system is set 70℃, the heat (effector) is turned on if the temperature drops blow 70℃. After the heater heats the house to 70℃, it shuts off effectively maintaining the ideal temperature.
analytics along with the awareness regarding the costs of various drug events. In healthcare industries, data is generated from several sources and collecting this data can help better identify new potentials cures and develop effective drugs in a shorter period of time. FDA recognizes the potential of mobile applications and how these applications can represent the benefits and risks related to health. It can be useful to use the electronic health records and the patient data from hospitals to build such systems.
This will make delay to next customer. If there is emergency case like accident, doctor need to go there, it will also make some delay. And also doctor always has much work to do such as writing information in the computer also he says paper work makes slow because he has to record all things and another cause is less number of doctors in the hospital. Conclusion: - Appointment scheduling systems are used by most of organization to manage access to service providers. The problem of delay on taking appointments in the hospital has many causes and factors, while population growth may also affect it because it may put some pressure on health services, but still there will be right for the customers for being Patient sometimes, and they must also be on time to follow, in order to follow the rules so, we should always keep calm and understand it in a simple way so that we can solve a problem Appointments that have become common in most
In this article, I would like to cover all of the main types of thermostats to help you to solve the problem of choosing the right device for your heating
It is going to do so by lowering the costs and increasing the levels of quality. But actually if we see today, it has already done a chunk of this when we talk about wireless monitoring of patients, gathering patient data, analyzing and bringing out fruitful results, generating automated reports and sending them across. In this paper we will discuss role of IoT in healthcare industry taking a deeper look and trying to understand various aspects and perspectives. Moreover we would examine the challenges that this can face.
To overcome this, a personal health number has been introduced. It is issued at the first contact with the system and will have a unique number linking health care records of the health care recipient. Since the same system is used thorough out the country there aren’t any problems with interoperability. And real time true data can be obtained from anywhere in the country.
