Smart Pedometer ( Personal Health Assistant)

Abstract

Smart Pedometer is intelligent, supportive systems that provide assistance for preventive healthcare, diagnosis and care. It is very inconvenient for the patient to get observed 24/7 in a hospital compromising all his work and even more difficult for the people who need to take care of their health related stuff regularly. Smart Pedometer is an android application with electronic sensors that can monitor body functions and respond to environmental changes such as detecting and notifying pacemaker patients of potentially damaging electronic interference or warning athletes of rising body temperature, strain on muscles and pulse. Smart Pedometer combines everyday products with cost-efficient electronics and demonstrates the possibilities for the smart materials in an innovative biometric system making it extremely convenient for the patients/users for diagnosing, analyzing, keeping the record of their pulse, temperature and strain/stress on their muscles as well as sharing their data with their trainers or doctors through social media or web. This android application is the replacement of manual checkups and maintaining person's medical history. It integrates different features and certain new modules to provide an effective and better way of viewing, recording, analyzing and sharing a person's various health parameters. This project aims in developing a framework by integrating all the sensors mounted at a person's body and using the android application for display and sending all the information obtained from sensors through Bluetooth of android phone to the server. The concept is to display all the information with help of graphs, charts and tables etc not only in an android application but also on a dashboard which can be accessed by the person himself and other authorized people. This concept could be extended to send an SMS alert to any relative or hospital in case of any emergency.
