 CONCLUSION
 Regular monitoring of vital signs is essential as
they are primary indicators of an individuals physical
well-being. These vital signs include:
1. Pulse rate
2. Blood pressure
3. Body temperature
4. Breathing rate
5. Brain waves
 Health care costs have risen exponentially.
 Many people die due to lack of medical equipment in
rural hospitals.
 Response when there is no responder - There is never
a good place to get hurt but when help is out of reach, a
medical kit is your next best friend.
 Time is of the essence - A medical kit is just
that having one ready provides temporary aid until you
can get a proper help. No kit means no immediate help
 In present system it is costly to buy the large medical
equipments like ECG machines and also have it fixed at
a single place.
 The number of patients in remote areas are also less.
 Too Much Unnecessary Care:-Overuse and unnecessary
care accounts for anywhere from one-third to one-half
of all health care costs, which equal hundreds of
billions of dollars, in addition to the half-a-trillion per
year experts attribute to lost productivity and disability.
 Avoidable Harm to Patients:-This is one of health care’s most
common problems. The statistics are staggering. Here’s an
example: one in four Medicare beneficiaries that are admitted
to a hospital suffers some form of harm during their stay.
 Portable medical equipments kit is to be designed in order to
solve the health monitoring problems of vital signs of patients
in remote areas.
 A cost effective design has to be made for easy availability in
rural areas
 EEG senses the brain waves.
 ECG sensor is used to senses the heartbeat and pulse rate.
 Temperature sensor is used to sense the body temperature.
 Sensors are interfaced with the Arduino and the collected
data is displayed on monitor and LCD display.

epileptic abnormality.
 It detects the heart, brain, temperature condition and gives a
Real time health report.
 Typical EEG Sensor output
Delta Waves -Too much ( Brain Injuries)
Too little (Poor sleep)
Theta Waves -Too much (Hyperactivity, Inattentiveness)
Too little (Poor Emotional Awareness)
Alpha Waves -Too much (Day dreaming , inability to focus, too relaxed)
Too Little ( High stress and OCD)
Beta Waves -Too much (Adrenaline to relax stress)
Too little ( Day Dreaming)
Gamma waves-Too much (Anxiety and stress)
Too little ( Depression and learning disability)
Typical ECG sensor output
P waves – Atrial
Depolarization
QRS Complex – Electrical
activity of ventricles
T Waves- Repolarization of
ventricles
Normal heart beat- 60 to
100 BPM
 The portable medical kit has been designed. It is very use
full for the rural areas and it is cost effective.
