Existing life care systems simply monitor human health and rely on a centralized server to store and process sensed data, leading to a high cost of system maintenance, yet with limited services and low performance. One of the important parameter in health Monitoring is ECG and Wireless ECG acquisition has emerged as a comfortable low-cost technology for continuous Cardiac Monitoring. The analysis of ECG is widely used for diagnosing many cardiac diseases, which are the main cause mortality in developed countries. One type of Cardiovascular Disease is cardiac arrhythmia which is characterized by irregular heartbeat intervals, atrial fibrillation when atriums exhibit rapid and irregular contractions. Another example of arrhythmia is premature ventricular contraction. The existing feature of Data Collection and analysis of ECG information requires lots of accuracy, efforts and are also immune to errors, unnecessary delays in real time information accessibility. Wireless ECG Sensors have been employed to monitor human health and provide life care services.. We present a scheme for ECG monitoring that processes the data by using Cloud computing in real time manner. Among the various techniques developed for ECG extraction Time Domain analysis, frequency domain analysis and wavelet transform are predominant techniques. It is also proposed to develop this system which is compatible with various Devices such as Desktop Computers, PDA and smart phones.

Aim: Ayurveda describes herbal or polyherbal or herbo-mineral medicines such as Avipattikar churna for treatment of Amlapitta, ajirna for centuries. Ayurvedic medicines are associated with limitations namely, palatability, stability and accuracy of dose. Ayurvedic medicines lack in adequate safety and efficacy evidence data. The aim of the study was to develop a stable and palatable Avipattikar suspension using recent formulation and analytical techniques. The study was also aimed at determination of acid neutralizing capacity of Avipattikar suspension and predicting its efficacy for treatment of Functional Dyspepsia and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder. Methods: Flocculated Avipattikar suspension was prepared using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the suspending agent, sodium citrate as the flocculating agent, mannitol as a taste masking agent. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate, Tween 80®, glycerin and mannitol were not used in Deflocculated Avipattikar suspension. The sedimentation volume, degree of flocculation, redispersibility and pH of the suspension was evaluated. The acid neutralization capacity of Avipattikar suspension was determined by Unite States Pharmacopoeia method. Results: The present study successfully demonstrated formulation of stable Avipattikar suspension from Avipattikar churna.  The suspendability of sediment was retained for 15 days in presence of CMC. The results indicated that the acid neutralizing capacity of Avipattikar suspension (2.80 mMol of H+/ gm) was similar to that of the marketed antacid suspension (2.756 mMol of H+/ gm). The unpleasant taste of herbal drugs was masked satisfactorily. Conclusion: Avipattikar suspension may be a cheaper, safer and effective alternative for current antacids for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
