Abstract

In this paper a system for monitoring the environment and biometric parameters like ECG for cardiac patients is presented. Monitoring Health Environment can be considered important like monitoring the patient in direct way. In this paper we propose an architecture consisting of a sensors network to monitor the patient environment in conjunction with other biometric parameters like ECG with the aim to control the health status in outdoor and indoor conditions. The monitoring system makes use of different sensors such as: oxygen level, air quality, humidity, temperature, ECG, integrated with an Arduino controller. The observed data are sent via GPRS or Wi-Fi to a server to activate the regulation of the environment conditions. Patient environment and health status can be monitored in remote way by mobile thanks to a specific App.
