MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM FOR REMOTE HEALTH MONITORING USING SENSORS AND CLOUD COMPUTING

Indumathy N, Kiran Kumari Patil

Abstract: Remote monitoring of patient’s health and generating alert in case of emergency situations is an important aspect in healthcare. Sensors play an important role in this regard. They measure the physical parameters and provide real-time data but sensors are constrained with limited battery, storage and processing. Cloud has several advantages such as huge memory, high bandwidth, faster data processing, on-demand service. Therefore we integrate sensors with Cloud computing to propose a system that keeps track of patient’s health in a timely manner and generates voice alert when the patient’s vital parameters crosses the normal value. The measured data is sent to Cloud from where doctors can access it via Internet
