Design Implementation of Real Time Bio-Signal Acquisition System for Quality Health Care Services for the Population of Rural India

摘要

Health condition in the most of Indian villages is comparatively poor and requires more attention. This is due to number of factors like unavailability of Health Check up and health care services is villages, access to town or city due to distance or non-awareness of Government schemes. The proper healthcare can be achieved using routine health check up at village itself by providing required facility. This facility can collect the individual health condition data in terms of vital parameters like blood pressure, heart rate, Electro cardogram (ECG), asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) parameters and also fitness test for fatigue analysis. This information can be collected by a trained lab physician or hospital nurse and can be shared by hospital and Government Health Department to access public health in that village or area. The aim of this research work is to design and develop a platform to interface different biosensors and to acquire above physiological parameters as a health check up facility. A real time Arduino based prototype is designed for health care improvement as a part of telemedicine system. The Doctors will be updated with public health periodically and a better treatment can be provided using this data. And also gender wise health information can be made available. This can help in providing higher quality health care services for the population of Rural India.
