Ad-Hoc Sensor Network Based Remote Patient Monitoring System

Care of critically ill patient, requires spontaneous& accurate decisions so that life-protecting & lifesaving therapy can be properly applied. Statistics reveal that every minute a human is losing his/her life across the globe. More close in India, everyday many lives are affected by heart attacks and more importantly because the patients did not get timely and proper help . In this paper I am presenting real time patient monitoring system along with additional facility that aims to expand patient monitoring over a wider area such as a remote village or town. The idea behind this is that remote places usually lack proper health care facilities and good doctors to treat various diseases. The patients could be scattered in various places including hilly terrain, where doctor’s frequent availability is not practicable. An Ad-hoc sensor network based solution is provided along with real time patient monitoring system. The proposed technique is intended specifically for remote rural areas where the infrastructural facilities such as the internet, GSM/GPRS etc are not available.
