Description

In this project we have proposed a system which detects the heartbeat, temperature and flexible rate of fingers and provides a time remainder to take medicines at regular interval of time. This device is designed in a way such that it can be easily wearable and it is easy to carry.

An arduino lilypad is used as a microcontroller in this project. A heart beat sensor is used to measure the heartbeat of the person. Thermistor is used to measure the temperature of the patient. A DS3231 RTC module is used to send a remainder to take the medicines at regular interval of time. A flex sensor is used to measure the flexibility of the fingers of the patient. This is useful for the persons undergoing physiotherapy.
