Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of non-developing and developing countries stipulate that every year an enormous number of pregnant women succumbed to death due to lack of proper healthcare service. In the case of Bangladesh, maximum maternal deaths happen in the rural and hill-tracts area due to the communication gap during the emergency moments. To solve this situation, in this study, we have proposed multiple sensor-based systems that focus on the issue of complete health monitoring of an expecting mother. We envisioned to target the expecting mothers who are most of the time-deprived of complete health monitoring during the pregnancy time. Our developed system consists of non-invasive anemia and glucose rate detection, sudden fall detection, heart rate, and body temperature. We have also incorporated Wi-Fi and GSM modules in our device to make it viable for telemonitoring. To monitor all these physical parameters, we have also introduced a custom-made android application. These would allow the expecting mothers to assess their health conditions. The doctors and family members would also get notified through SMS if there is an emergency. The outcome of this research would help the health service providers to envision a different approach to give proper healthcare facilties to expecting mothers, specially in the rural areas. |
