HEALTH MONITORING MASK WITH WEARABLE ANTENNA TECHNOLOGY

The development of a health monitoring mask with wearable antenna technology is implemented in this paper. For the transmission and reception of data for systems connected to healthcare, wireless body area networks are employed, including the usage of wearable antennas. A micro strip patch antenna is designed which is integrated on the mask, this will help in transmitting the data. Also, a temperature sensor and a pulse sensor are integrated on the mask along with the antenna. These sensors are in turn connected to a Arduino UNO microcontroller, to which these sensors send the data and this microcontroller then sends this data to the transceiver to which a textile antenna is attached which transmits these data. At the receiving side, we use the same microcontroller to the receive the data transmitted by the antenna. Then the final output is displayed on a lcd display. Therefore, based on the performance of the designed system, it is concluded that the health monitoring mask has great potential in monitoring the health of a person and is very useful in very crowded places like malls, public events, schools, colleges, offices, Railway stations Airports, Hospitals etc.
