1 Android Based Health Monitoring System Mahesh Londhe, Sandip Vandre, Atul Narote, Amol Nirmal, Sumit Khandelwal Department of Computer Engineering, Pune University, Pune A B S T R A C T The recent popularity of android mobile influenced us to develop an android application to monitor the patient health through various wireless medical sensor devices. Main purpose of our System is to develop an application to monitor heart beat and temperature of a user of the system and guide him/her for a treatment, and to help the user by providing a list of hospitals of nearest locations and by giving health tips according to the threshold values. We also provide the facility of smart-key voice recording as well as alarms. Specialty of our system is it handles multiple patients at a time. We design a system which is able to send the vital data to administrator via SMS. Our proposed idea is used to provide a better understanding of wireless sensing devices and their interfaces to the android mobile. Index Terms: Sensor, Microcontroller board, Bluetooth, Transmitter and Receiver, Buzzer, Bluetooth API, Smart-key voice recording. I. INTRODUCTION Technology has advanced at a very fast pace in today s world. Medical science and technology has so many breaks through, that they are almost beginning to overlap each other and in certain scenarios even fusing with each other to help human [1]. The project that we want to work on is one that has not been done before but will be very useful and effective in helping avoid deaths which are caused by the biggest concern of today s world, a cardiac arrest heart attack [2]. What we want to achieve through this project is by some means try to convert the heart rate and temperature into a measurable entity and keep a constant check on it to see if it functions normally[1]. The system should kick-start and following actions should immediately take effect. Send information about the abnormality to a family relative/doctor [5]. At the users end give a complete list of hospitals that can treat such a condition and give a second chance to the person to get help. Take any messages that the user wants to record contact, blood group, medical history etc. This not helps a rapid course of action to take place, but informs people in the vicinity that it is not just a minor condition, but needs serious medical help giving the user a fighting chance. II. LITERATURE SURVEY Health Monitoring Laboratories by Interfacing Physiological Sensors to Mobile Android Devices Suhas Ranganath-Mahesh K. Banavar Photini Spanias Deepta Rajan, Andreas Spanias el al, [1] This paper describes, Android Java-DSP (AJDSP) as a mobile application that interfaces with sensors and enables simulation. This also helped in visualization of signal processing. In this system firstly there is creation of interface between both external sensors and on-board device sensors for monitoring the physiological parameter of human being. This paper also explored the trend of mobile sensing and adapted it towards improving digital signal processing (DSP), by building interfaces to medical sensor and external sensors. In this paper there is use of SHIMMER. It is a small wireless low-power sensor , IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved

2 platform that can record and transmit physiological (Health related like ECG) and kinematic data in realtime. The drawback of this system is that it only monitors the patient which is admitted in the hospital. In this low power sensor are used. Smart Elderly Home Monitoring System with an Android Phone Kenny T.H. Chieng Dr. Lee Jer- Vui, Chuah Yea-Dat el al, [2] This paper considers or takes into account certain facts, which are heart attack and stroke as they are the major cause of hospitalization of the elder people. There is more chances of survival if the older people gets the treatment within an hour. SHEMS had also been developed. An android smart phone with accelerometer is used to detect a fall of the carrier, and this android device is known as healthcare device. The android phone is then connected to the monitoring system by using the TCP/IP protocol through Wi- Fi. Because of this system, elderly and chronically ill patients can stay independently in their own home and secure in the knowledge that they are being monitored. The drawback of this system is that it only considers elder people as there is more chances of sudden (emergency situation) outbreak in them like heart attack and stroke. Design and Implementation of Wearable ECG System Byungkook Jeon, Jundong Lee, Jaehong Choi el al,[3] The paper describes the design and implementation part of wearable ECG with the smart phone for the real time monitoring of health. In this system smart shirt are developed with ECG sensors and can be worn by any type of patient for monitoring his or her health in real time and get required treatment or prescription. These systems are mainly developed considering elder people in mind as they live alone in their homes. Therefore this system basically monitors the elderly people for self diagnosis purpose. The result of this system was the system could monitor and diagnose patients heart conditions in real time, when they wear a sports-shirt with a ECG sensor in it. In addition to this, the system also provides graphical information with history management tools and an automatic emergency call system to the patient to get the required treatment in time. The drawback of the system is that it only concentrates on elder people and it includes shirt (ECG sensor) for wearing which cost a lot. Remote Patient Monitoring System Yedu Manmadhan Anand V. R. M. J. Jayashree Sherin Sebastian, Neethu Rachel Jacob el al,[4] This paper provides the image based system which acquires the ECG signal via digital camera; this information is performed on the tool like MATLAB and data sending through the internet network and stored in database. Then the original image is then availed to the doctor via Android mobiles. The purpose of this system is the vital sings and parameters from the ICU monitoring system and makes this data to be available to the doctor who may not be in the hospital and in the country. In case of any abnormality, the doctor is alerted by sending a notification from C2DM server to his mobile. The drawback of this paper is that, due to the slow internet connection the data will not be send to the doctor which is located remotely. The image is captured through the camera, which must be HD which cost a lot. Hospital Health Care Monitoring System using Wireless Sensors Network Naji HR Aminian M.

3 In this paper there is continuous observation of the patient s physiological parameters such as blood pressure of patient as well as heart rate. This system is mainly useful for pregnant women to measure the various parameters like blood pressure, heart beat and fatal movement to control the health issue. This system has to monitoring more than one patient at a time and easily able to sense the blood pressure (BP) and heart rate of the patients. In this system, there is a sensor node attached to body of patient to measure signals from the wireless sensors and sends these signal to the database. This system can detect the abnormal conditions of the patient, raise an alarm to the patient and sends a SMS/ to the doctor for treatment. The main advantage of this system is to increase the freedom for enhancing patient s quality of life. The demerit of this system is that in this the patients need to get admitted in the hospital for continuous monitoring of the patient physiological parameters. This WSN gets complicated if number of patient is admitted in the hospital beyond the specified limit. Wireless Health and the Smart Phone Conundrum Hyduke Noshadi Majid Sarrafzadeh William Kaiser Jonathan Woodbridge, Ani Nahapetian el al,[6] This paper tells us that, they implemented wireless healthcare by sensor communication, data processing, data visualization etc on different mobile platforms. There is central controller for wireless health application. They developed libraries for particular mobile devices to implement the health care on different platforms. CDMA and UTMS have more network then Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and all this cellular connectivity are supported by mobile platforms. They started by, assessing the best smart phone platform for the health care, next they determine the runtime environment to the smart phone platform and finally they developed the wireless health application for that particular platform. They provide different and better debugging environment for different platforms. The drawback of this paper is that they do not represent the complete wireless heath software library Android ECG application development Behutiye Woubshet el al,[7] The paper describes the design and implementation part of ECG application. The main purpose or objective of this paper was to use the power of android platform and produce a prototype model of ECG application. It performs its works with VS100, Bluetooth ECG monitoring device. This paper also describes the architecture, development environment and tools that are used in android mobile application development. The tools used in development process or phase are Eclipse, Android SDK, ADT plugging for Eclipse. This device monitors Heart Rate via Bluetooth communication. The result of this paper was communicating with vital sense device via Bluetooth communication. The demerit of this system is that it monitors only ECG and not other parameters like temperature. Mobile Health Care System Using NFC Technology A Devendran, Dr T Bhuvanesware, Arun Kumar Krishnan el al,[8] This paper tells us that the patient monitors his or her health which may be physical or mental, through the mobile devices and gives extra information like location of user and provide the security and reliability. New technology is used for this purpose. To maintain the security they use a wireless Technology called as NFC (Near Field Communication Technology for the Future) which interacts with the electromagnetic radio fields. NFC technology is used to access the patient information, and this information is stored in hospital EMR Database. Doctor refers to the data instead of going via the paper. When the patient gets discharge all the details will be transferred to the NFC tag from EMR The drawback of this paper is that, this system mainly emphasis on the database security rather than providing service like nearest hospital list and alert to the family members , IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved

From the above literature survey we can say that certain system have certain advantages over other and certain disadvantages. So we will remove the disadvantages and will develop a system which will overcome all the disadvantages of the above papers for e.g. System will continuously monitor the heart rate, temperature etc. Patient does not need to be get admitted in the hospital for the treatment. Also providing nearest hospital list to the patient, raising alarm in emergency situation and providing proper treatment and related health tips. III. NEED OF COMPUTERIZATION Basically, this system can be used by any person at anywhere. The system monitors temperature and heart beat of a user and sends health tips to the user via Bluetooth [4, 6, 7]. So this is very safety, emergency and comfortable solution for a patient. In addition to this, system captures the location of cells and displays the location of nearest hospitals so that user can immediately go to any of them for treatment. User of the system gets health tips from the system via Bluetooth [6, 7]. If user suffers from extreme condition, he/she can use smart-key voice recording for recording some important information. So this system is useful for any common man in anyway [2]. A. Project Idea Basic idea of our project system is to monitor heart beat and temperature of user. According to users abnormal conditions send the required health tips to user, and ensuring secure access of confidential , IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved

6 data [6]. Our system will provides 24 X 7 availability, user friendly environment to get better performance at peak time and provide flexible service based architecture, which will be highly desirable for future extension. B. Motivation of the Project In today s world there is no android based system for health monitoring. As we all know that many people are using android mobile, so we decided to build a system which can monitor health using android platform. Android based client for user. In this SMS based notification is there [5,7]. System provides professional look and feel, user friendly messages. The architecture should be highly scalable and the application should be tuned for better performance at the peak time. Application should be highly customizable, flexible and secure enough too easily deploy [6]. C. Area of Project Our area of project is Medical Science (sensing heart rate and temperature through the sensors)[1], [5]. We will develop an application with the help of android base. Creating application and configuring with hardware devices. We create interface between user, android device and sensor. To develop application of health monitoring and providing services to patients as well as doctors. IV. MATHEMATICAL MODEL Mathematical Modelling is used for measuring how the system is implemented mathematically. It provides flexible (mathematical) thinking and use of concepts of set theory. Formal Set Notation Description Informal English Description (Set of all inputs) a) p1, p2, p3, p4...n the set of all possible patients. b) d1, d2, d3...n the set of all possible doctor. c) a (such that a is Administrator) a is only administrator d) A=a, b, c...

7 Pn Time to login = (a * D) * ci i=0 Admin can access system and assign various threshold values. C. After patient s login After patient login we require following input parameters: Let t1, t2...tn are temperature value. h1, h2...hn are heart rate at different time and of different individual. Consider Th is some threshold value. Check the temperature value and heart rate with threshold value (th). If value of ti, hi is greater than threshold value (Th) then send data to nearest doctors and give patient appointment and prescription. If value of ti, hi is less than threshold value (Th) then give him/her normal treatment. Pn Time to reach to Server(Sm) = p0* ti *hi*tm i=0 Here the particular patient p0 senses his heart rate hi, temperature ti with respect to time(tm). D. After admin login, admin checks for authorized doctor, finds the appropriate doctor for particular disease for the individual so that he/she can get the appointment. Compare patients data with previous data of sever and find the particular disease and send to the specialist doctor. E. Doctor checks the data and gives him appointment and prescription. Input to the doctor is data which is sensed from the medical devices. V. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE , IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved

8 Figure 1. Architecture Diagram Architecture diagram describes an overview of the system. System is working as follows- The ECG Monitor Hardware monitors the heart beat rate (per min) through Heart- beat sensor and Temperature through Temperature sensor [3, 7]. It gives signal to the system when values are going below standard. The signal goes through the ADC channel which is connected to the Microcontroller Board. When user sends alarm, it goes through Buffer and Drivers. It is connected to the Microcontroller Board and Microcontroller Board is connected to the PC. PC maintains a Patient Log which means it maintains a complete log of patients in the form of persistent database or files. The PC is also connected to the Bluetooth via USB/Serial Interface. The user can send or receive data to/from the system via Bluetooth. A. Microcontroller Board A single-board microcontroller is a microcontroller pre-built onto a single printed circuit board. It provides all of the circuit necessary for a useful control task such as input output circuits, Random Access Memory, ICs necessary etc. The board is useful to an application developer, to use prebuilt controller board without any effort. B. Sensor A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer. A sensor is a device which receives and responds to a signal. A sensitivity of sensors indicates how much the sensors output changes when the measured quantity changes. C. Transmitter and Receiver , IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved
