Abstract
Healthy pregnancy and safe childbirth is a goal of all Indian health care systems. Despite significant improvements in recent decades, mothers and their babies are still in danger during the prenatal period, which covers pregnancy, delivery, and therefore the postpartum. Babies born too early are more likely to die than those born at term. To enhance prenatal health, we would like the proper tools to assess problems and their causes. We also got to monitor the health condition of the pregnant woman frequently. We have proposed the system using IOT which is predicated on maternal health care solution that promises to effectively monitor the health of the pregnant women in rural India. This technique allows sensing various attributes just like the temperature, pulse and therefore the vital sign of the mother frequently. The readings of the attributes are stored during a cloud. Just in case of any abnormal conditions there’s a message which is shipped to the hospital, doctor responsible and therefore the guardian of the patient. We have also used Diffie Hellman Key Exchange algorithm to secure transmission of knowledge.
