Summary
Nowadays, the number of heart attack patients is increasing day by day. Though it is tough to save heart attack patients, we can increase the statistics of saving the lives of those patients as well as the lives of those whom the heart attack patients are responsible for. The main design of this project is to track heart attack patients suffering a heart attack during driving, send them medical help and stop the vehicle they are driving to ensure that the persons along them are spared from accidents. An eye blinking sensor is used to monitor the eye blinking rate and a spO2 sensor is used to check the pulse rate of the patient. Both are connected to a micro controller.
If eye blinking stops, then the signal is sent to the controller to make an alarm through the buffer. If the spO2 sensor perceives a variation in the pulse rate or low oxygen content in the blood, which may result in heart failure, then the controller stops the motor of the vehicle. Then, a Tarang F4 transmitter is used to sent the vehicle number and the mobile phone number of the patient to the nearest medical station within 25 km for medical aid. The pulse rate monitored via LCD .The Tarang F4 receiver acquires the signal and passes through the controller, the number gets displayed on the LCD screen and an alarm is produced through a buzzer as soon the signal is received.
Five topics are discussed in this project: detecting the patient BPM and the eye blinking status; transmitting via Tarang F4 in case of abnormalities in the patient; the patient status is displayed and indicated by a buzzer; the hospital unit receives the patient’s mobile phone number and car number and the communication between the vehicle and the hospital through Tarang F4.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays heart attack patients are increasing day by day."Though it
is tough to save the heart attack patients, we can increase the statistics of Saving
the life of that patients & the life of others whom they are responsible for. The
main design of a project is, in order to track the heart attack patients suffered
any attacks during driving and sent them a medical need & to stop the vehicle
which he or she is riding to ensure that the persons along them are safe from
accident. An eye blinking sensor used to sense the blinking of the eye. And a
spO
2
sensor to check the pulse rate of the patient. Both are connected to micro
controller.
If eye blinking gets stopped then the signal is sent to the controller to
make an alarm through the buffer. If spO
2
sensor senses a variation in pulse or
low oxygen content in Blood it may results in heart failure then the controller
stops the motor of the vehicle. Then Tarang F4 transmitter is used to sent the
vehicle & the mobile number of the patient to a nearest medical station within
25 km for medical aid. The pulse rate monitored via LCD .The Tarang F4
receiver receives the signal and passes through controller, the number gets
displayed in the LCD screen and an alarm is produced through a buzzer as soon
the signal is received.
Five topics are discussed in this project : Detecting the patient BPM
and the Eye blinking status; Transmitting via Tarang F4 in case of abnormalities
in patient; The patient status is displayed and indicated by Buzzer; The Hospital
Unit receives the patient's mobile and the car number; The communication
between the vehicle and the Hospital through Tarang F4.

REALTIME MONITORING OF CARDIAC PATIENTS
Real time monitoring of cardiac patients are used to protect the heart
patients, including alert systems and the vehicle onboard controllers with
components that communicate with each other. Realtime monitoring of
cardiac patients are typical safety systems since they prevent the death of
heart patients and ensure the safety operations in general.
1.2
REALTIME MONITORING OF CARDIAC PATIENTS USING
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Here we implent a cardiac patient monitoring system in which at the
first level choose the Tarang F4 for the communication which has more
coverage area than the zigbee, for the communication between the vehicle
and Hospital. Hence here we design a system which can be used by the
vehicle and the Hospital which can communicate each other.We design an
automated communication between the patient to Hospital.We also design
the automatic vehicle ignition OFF. As the patient suffers any attack or
he/she is sleeping,the buzzer indicates an alarm and the patient's BPM, eye
blinking ratio is dislayed in LCD as "EYE CLOSED" or NOT.The IR
sensors monitors the both function. Meanwhile the patient's status is
transmitted to the hospital. The mobile number and vehicle number is
displayed on the hospital LCD. And is indicated by an alarm and RED LED.
The Hospital members then tracks the patient.[1]

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The following papers have been studied for their working,
advantages and limitations.
[1] Design And Development of a Wireless Remote Point- of-Care Patient
Monitoring System, Whitchurch, A.K.; Abraham, J.K.; vol., no., pp.163,166.
Inference:
Whitchurch, A.K proposed a system describes the point of care
patient monitoring system.
Remote patient monitoring is an alternative to
regular home check-ups of patients with certain special medical conditions or
the elderly who are unable to regularly visit
a
healthcare facility. This
technology reduces the number of home visits which are now only required
when special attention is needed. This paper presents the design and
development of a remote point-of-care patient monitoring system which allows
the patient to be monitored remotely while remaining in the comfort of their
home.The
system described here allows
wireless
data acquisition from
eight patient-worn sensors. The number and type of sensors are configurable
according to the subject's specific condition. The system uses the standard
Bluetooth
technology for communication with a home based monitor which in
turn relays this data to the remote healthcare facility using the internet. This data
can be used for real-time evaluation of the patient's conditions as well as data
logging for later analysis. Since this is a configurable system, a few selected
5
sensors are connected to
demonstrate the concept of remote patient monitoring;
these include Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), Airflow,
respiration, patient movement
and body temperature. The results obtained from
these tests are also presented in this paper.
Advantages of this system
· An alternative to regular home check-ups of patients with certain special
medical conditions or the elderly who are unable to regularly
visit a healthcare facility.
Limitations
· This method is suitable for only the patient is not in motion.
[2]
Wireless ECG Monitoring and Alarm System Using Zigbee, Apostu, O.;
Hagiu, B.; vol., no., pp.1,4.
Inference:
Apostu, O. proposed a system describes the ECG Monitoring using
Zigbee. This paper presents the development of a system for wireless ECG
monitoring and alarm using ZigBee. The system is intended for home use by
patients that are not in a critical condition but need to be constant or periodically
monitored by clinicians or family. Patient monitoring is the cornerstone of
proper medical care. It provides clinicians the much needed information about a
person's current health status, so that they can act accordingly if anything goes
wrong. Nowadays, complex patient monitoring systems offer the possibility of
continuously
monitoring
a multitude of biological signals, analyze them,
interpret them and take the appropriate action; or alert clinicians if necessary.
The usual shortcomings of most of these systems reside in affecting patient
mobility and home comfort. A patient would need to be sitting on a bed wired to
these devices in order for his vital signs to be monitored. This system measures,
records and presents in real-time the electrical activity of the heart while
preserving comfort of the patient. The device is built as a low-power, small-
