An Aid for Health monitoring during pregnancy

Abstract

In many countries like India, the population is more living in rural areas as compared to cities. There is a large gap present between the facilities people get in cities and rural areas. There is lack of awareness and facilities in villages and hence they don't bother much regarding health monitoring during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a very crucial stage which demands extra care and concern. Hospitals are not nearby in villages so people don't bother to go for a regular check up. To reduce fetal mortality rate and to identify any health related issue, regular check up is very important. In our paper, our system involves the functionality of health monitoring due to the interaction of doctor and pregnant women. A mobile Application is used for the interaction. Parameters like heartbeat rate, temperature, fetus movement and blood pressure is measured using sensors. All the Results are recorded in cloud. Application is used to access the data stored. There is a Standard set for normal condition so there is a alert message indication in doctor's app for showing the fluctuations happening. Main aim of this system is to monitor the crucial parameters and keep the record so that doctor can take care of the Women's and the fetus health. Without going to the hospital, Health status of the woman can be updated.
