INFANT REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS TELEMETRY

Biomedical Engineering

India is a developing country especially in the region of economy as well as in the medical field. In rural areas the medical facilities received by people is of very low quality and as a result the infant mortality rate increases day by day. The new born infants are the ones who suffer without any proper care and medical facilities. In rural areas the facilities and the assistance given to the infants are not adequate due to which Sudden Infant Death (SID) occurs. The main reason for the mortality of infants are Birth Asphyxia which is caused due to lack of oxygen obtained by infant, Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome, diarrheal diseases, Sepsis, a pathogenic infection. ‘NOVEL INFANT MONITORING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS TELEMETRY’ is a monitoring system in which the infants in critical conditions are continuously being monitored and in the case of any abnormalities seen in the infant the system would automatically send the message to the doctor’s desk and if the doctor doesn’t attend the information at his desk the monitoring system will automatically send message to the doctor’s numb and also to other people related to the infant through the GSM technology. The main parameters being monitored are SPO2, BP, respiration rate, EEG, temperature & intra venous drip level ( IV drip level). zigbee device is used for wireless transmission and also ATmega164 as microcontroller.
