Abstract
Consistently numerous lives are affected by heart attacks and all the more vitally on the grounds that the patients do not get timely and proper help. If the patient is under constant observation then the parameters that are responsible for causing heart attack can be
continuously monitored, and the right treatment at the correct time may be provided in case of emergency. So a system needs to be developed that helps in monitoring the patients suffering from heart disease at any point of time. The proposed system uses a
sensor that reads both heart rate and blood pressure. These values are continuously tracked by Raspberry Pi and stored in the master node. The parameters are analyzed at regular interval. If these parameters cross their normal range, then an automated message is sent via Short Message Service (SMS) gateway to the pre-configured numbers of the relatives and the doctor. The message contains the parameter values and the patients current location is recognized through GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, thus making it possible for the patient to get help at the right time when required.
