Abstract

In the last decade the healthcare monitoring systems have drawn considerable attentions of the researchers. The prime goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily life. In this article, a biomedical sensor network is used for more cost efficient solutions for supervision/monitoring patients during and after surgery, as well as when the patient is at home or regular activities. Cardiac arrest is parroted as the major contributor to unanticipated death rate around the globe. In some patients the cardiac problems may re-occur, when they start doing their monotonous work. Decrease in heart rate of a postoperative patient will afford drowsy feeling and increase in heart rate will lead to death and huge accidents. This proposed research work examines the relationship between abnormal heart rate and fatigue of a post-operative person in driving state and alerts the patients in case of abnormality detected.From the investigations it is found that if the measured pulse rate is inferior than the threshold the person is subjected to fatigue or if it is greater than threshold then the patient is wide-open to have a second order attack.
