Development of an Automotive Health Monitoring System for Doctor’s Chamber

Abstract

An automotive health monitoring system with RF communication for doctor’s chamber has been designed and implemented in this project. Our aim is not only to provide the measured data but also to couple the resultant data with user’s body mass index (BMI) and complete the whole process within a short time so that a doctor can give proper counselling to his patients. The system consists of Arduino Uno, LCD display, RF transmitter and receiver and three peripherals; namely, (1) height sensor (2) weight sensor (3) pulse sensor. Microcontroller ATmega328 which is mounted on Arduino Uno stores the program. All programs are written in C programming language. RF transmitter and RF receiver provide optioning to transmit the measured and calculated data towards doctor’s console. Finally, LCD display shows height, weight, pulse, BMI score and also categorize patient’s health status in accordance with ideal BMI chart. For example, if BMI score of a patient be 23.5 then his health status will be shown as “HEALTHY”; again, if the BMI score be 28 then the health status will be “OVERWEIGHT” and so on. Our proposed device can also be used as self-health manager as it is very user friendly and doesn’t require much space to install. We believe that this system would be a great helping hand to quantify the medical treatment
