Beschreibungen/Notizen
While the patient is asleep and unable to reply, vital bodily processes like breathing and blood circulation are still largely functioning. Comas can emerge as a result of injuries like head trauma or as a side effect of underlying disorders. When the patient’s recovery will occur is not predictable. These individuals require the best treatment and constant monitoring for sustainable care. In this work, patient data is continuously monitored and recorded without human intervention, contributing to a sustainable healthcare approach. Unexpected variations in the patient’s usual range of physical parameters are detected, whether they are awake and blink their eyelids or experience abrupt changes in body temperature. Additionally, the system has the capability to instantly alert a medical expert, ensuring timely intervention. The inclusion of a tilt sensor allows for the detection of even subtle movements, further enhancing the ability to provide sustained monitoring. A medical professional can continuously monitor the patient’s condition as it is displayed on an LCD screen, promoting sustainable and effective healthcare management.
