Automatic Health Management System in Urbanized Hospitals

Abstract

In Semi urban cities, most of the hospitals are situated in the midst of heavy traffic and pollution which causes additional burden in the health management of patients admitted. As per the World Health Organization report, outdoor air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting everyone in low, middle, and high-income countries. Ambient (outdoor) air pollution in both cities and rural areas was estimated to cause 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide per year in 2016; this mortality is due to exposure to small particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in diameter (PM_2.5), which causes cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and cancers. This article addresses the immediate need for health management in such areas. Here we propose an automatic low cost system to scrub the excess carbon in patient’s living room and try circulating more oxygen produced by biological process using Algae. In this proposed method we measure the carbon content [1] in patient’s room and according to the need we make the system to switch on a pump automatically to scrub the carbon content and release excess oxygen produced by Algae naturally into the environment.
