Long Term and Remote Health Monitoring with Smartphone

The basic aim of our work is to provide solutions with monitoring the heart beat rates of disabled or old people. And also we expect to help the people who have specific heart diseases like potential cardiac arrests and cardiac pacemaker carriers. Besides in case of emergency situations, our system will produce an immediate alarm to provide urgent help for the patients. In the system, emergency situations depend on the heart beat rates. If the heart beat rates of a person decreases at lower rates compared with normal heart beat rates or if the heart beat rates of a person increases at higher rates compared with normal heart beat rates or if big heart beat rate changes occur during the predetermined time period then these situations will be evaluated as emergency situations and these situations should be announced to considered people and places like hospitals, patient's doctor and patient's family members. The proposed system collaborates with smartphone and includes sensors to collect data from the patient. Also the system is used to process and compare data with predefined normal heart beat rates by patient's doctor and to notice if there is an emergency situation. Besides, in case of an emergency situation, the system sends messages including the patient data and location to the hospital and patient's doctor to inform them. But if there is not an emergency situation exists, then the system stores the collected data and sends them as daily and weekly graphics to the patient's doctor. These graphics are collected as a result of definite daily activities like sleeping, sitting, standing, walking and jogging. The results are compared with the doctor's determined normal heart beat rate intervals for every activity period
