“…Two types of communication protocol were used in this study: one being the GSM protocol to send SMS to the nursing staff on activation and the other being Xbee based wireless transmission of the alert signal to the nursing station. The transmitter unit was a wearable device [3,4]. The setup was assembled on a wearable hand-glove.…”

The present proposal revolves around the fabrication of a finger movement based wearable wireless attendant calling system. The system comprised of a flex sensor and a hall-effect sensor coupled with Arduino UNO and worked synchronously with patient hand movement. The concurrent activation of both the sensors enables the conveyance of patient location (ward and bed numbers) to the nurse station through Xbee protocol and a one-way SMS correspondence to a preloaded mobile number through GSM protocol. The device is capable of handling multiple patient requests at a time with minute time interval. A graphical user interface in MATLAB program monitors the patient status at the nursing station. The proposed device is expected to improve the quality of the patient care.
