Abstract
The main focus of the paper is to help the patient who is under critical condition and gives real time medical assistant to the patient. The first few minutes of a medical emergency are critical. This is why proper care should be immediately provided to prevent any further complications some examples include heart failure, drowning, traumas, and other respiratory issues. An air ambulance is a specially outfitted helicopter, or fixed wing aircraft, that transports injured or sick people in a medical emergency or over distances or terrain impractical for a conventional ground ambulance. Fixed wing aircraft most often used to move patients over long distances and for repatriation from foreign countries. These and related operations are termed as ‘Aeromedical’. This type of aeromedical can be used only at the time of war for the soldiers. Aeromedical can be land in the place where there is huge space it can’t be landed in the Center of the city or in congested place. To overcome, this problem drones are used in the medical field. These drones are helpful for transporting medicines, blood, donated organs from one place to another. The drawbacks of the medical drones are insufficient battery power, signal transmission to long range, cost, etc. As soon as the patient goes to the critical condition people surrounding to the patient doesn’t know to give the first aid. To overcome, this drone with real time patient monitoring system is integrated to help the patient. The real time patient monitoring system interfaced with temperature sensor, ECG, Respiration sensor, heartbeat sensor and pressure sensor. The pic microcontroller PIC 16F877A used to interface all the sensors shows the real time patient monitoring system kit. In this system GSM modulesends the information of the patient through the message, GPS is used the track the location of the quadcopter to the operator of the ground station. This helps them to send the vehicle to exact accident location shows the quad copter. After fixing the sensors to the patient, the condition is continuously monitored and sends information to the nearby hospital and control center over a wireless. Swarnalatha Anumula | T.
