The problem Smart wearable health monitoring device solves

In this project we have proposed a system which detects the heartbeat, temperature and flexible rate of fingers and provides a time remainder to take medicines at regular interval of time. This device is designed in a way such that it can be easily wearable and it is easy to carry. An arduino lilypad is used as a microcontroller in this project. A heart beat sensor is used to measure the heartbeat of the person. Thermistor is used to measure the temperature of the patient. A DS3231 RTC module is used to send a remainder to take the medicines at regular interval of time. A flex sensor is used to measure the flexibility of the fingers of the user. This is useful for the persons undergoing physiotherapy.The old people can be monitor their health at regular interval of time and according to their health medicines will be provided. We intend to expand this project by uploading data to the cloud instead of just displaying the data in the led which is placed in the glove, which will be more useful to the doctor in monitoring the user on a regular basis.

Challenges we ran into

We believe that there is one disadvantage to the charging. We are using a microcontroller (arduino lilypad) and want to power it with a battery. So we want to replace the battery all at once.
