As the population increases, there is also an increase in the number of chronic and heart diseases. The current hospital centric healthcare system is becoming inefficient to treat conditions that demand immediate treatment such as heart strokes. So, the focus is now tilting from hospital centric treatment to patient centric treatment. This project proposes a health monitoring system which monitors vital parameters of the patient such as temperature and heart rate using sensors as well as a fitbit which are connected to a raspberry pi board. The project involves alerting the doctor through SMS if any vital parameter of the patient deviates from the normal value. Apart from helping the doctor monitor the patient's basic health parameters this health monitoring system also ensures that the patient takes the prescribed medication at the right times. The raspberry pi acts as a personal server which logs the details of the patient's medication. The patient is sent reminders to take medicines through SMS according to his prescription.
