Heartbeat & Temperature Monitoring With Emergency Rescue System

Abstract

Health safety and rescue systems are very important for welfare of the society and have become need of the hour in current situations. This paper discusses the prototype designed to mitigate such issues effectively. The proposed approach consists of sensors which measures heartbeat and vital sign of the person continuously. The heartbeat sensor counts the heartbeat for specific interval of time and estimates Beats per Minute while the temperature sensor measures the temperature and both parameters are sent to the microcontroller which monitors the parameters and ensures normal condition of user. An algorithm to determine abnormal or unusual heartbeat is designed and incorporated in the microcontroller. This automatically identifies emergency situations from the parameters and initiates alerts. It also incorporates emergency button which sends the SMS to the Women/Child Safety Department along with location on single press. All this information is also displayed in LCD panel for user reference.
