A Smart Remote Monitoring System for Prenatal Care in Rural Areas
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The complications in maternity especially the women lives in rural sector can be reduced through regular monitoring of their vitals like blood pressure, SpO2 and fetal growth. The internet of things (IoT) is the modern technology bridges the gap between the traditional clinical setting with its consumers as well promotes the telemedicine industry into great levels of accessing proactive healthcare facilities. The predominant aim of this work is to bring a remote monitoring device which assesses the significant health indicators of the pregnant women and their fetus status cost effectively. In order to build such kit, the biosensors like heart rate, SpO2, pressure, temperature and load cell which gives the weight of the fetus are integrated into Arudino board. The sensor readings are processed through ThingSpeak. The timely medical attention is proposed upon observing abnormal physiological vitals of the women which is implemented through a buzzer system in this device. Like such devices in realism help to predict the pregnancy risk and decrease the mortality rate.
