An Efficient Healthcare Monitoring and Pre-Emptive Ambulance Control Through Traffic Signals

Abstract

Monitoring the pulse, heartbeat rate and oxygen levels of a person in an ambulance and then shifting the person to the emergency ward and then continuing the monitoring is what is usually done. The monitoring is stopped when the person is moved from the ambulance and admitted in the emergency ward. This is a big disadvantage because there is a chance of a drop in oxygen or pulse levels at any particular time. We eliminate this disadvantage by installing a pulse sensor, temperature sensor, GPS , pressure sensor, and gas sensor in the stretcher. All these can be connected to a person's body and can be monitored continuously. All these data are displayed on a webpage using IoT. The same stretcher can be used in the emergency ward and the data of the person is not lost at any time period. Using nrf sensors, the ambulance makes communication with the traffic signals located on the ambulance's way and makes it turn green until the ambulance passes through it. Therefore the ambulance can reach the hospital soon.
