IOT BASED MONITORING SYSTEM FOR COMATOSE PATIENTS

Abstract

As we know coma is a state of unconsciousness in which patient cannot feel or respond to the pain, light or sound, it does not initiate volunteering any actions. Patients in a coma state need to have a continuous update of Blood pressure, temperature, humidity, and urine level. Doing this manually can become almost impossible to keep updates of multiple patients at the same time. In order to address this situation, our system comes to the rescue; this system will collect the information of patients with the help of sensors. These sensors use WIFI to communicate this information to the internet. This system is powered by the Raspberry Pi it includes a blood pressure monitoring unit and an ultrasonic sensor to check urine, temperature sensor, motion sensor, and an LCD display. When we turn the system on, it gets connected to the website using WIFI, System monitor shows four signs namely heart rate, temperature, humidity, and urine output. While testing heart rate function of the system, the heart rate and blood pressure value get updated over IOT and LCD display. As we know the patient who is in comatose cannot urinate on their own so a rubber tube is inserted into their bladder to remove urine. This system tests urine level and also updates the value over IOT and LCD, when the patient urinates. In case if the patient regains consciousness and attempts to move, the sensor will detect the motion and update it over IOT and LCD. In this way, our system monitors the comatose patients.
