A WEARABLE MOBILE BASED HEALTH CARE LOCATION AWARENESS SYSTEM FOR HEART DISEASE USING HOVER POSITIONING SYSTEM [ ]


Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are commonly using in healthcare organizations worldwide. The android operating system (AOS) based electronic devices such as Smart phones and computer tablets are extensively used for many purposes like instant messaging, gaming, word processing, Internet and download number of applications online. A rapid growth of android phones has enabled to replace PC’s software and other licensed software development technologies. There are different kinds of healthcare applications developed in android Smart phones which help patients and their caregivers to reduce time and cost efficiency. In this research work, an application is developed that locates the nearest hospital. The nearest position of hospitals is calculated with a built-in feature of Global Positioning System (GPS) in Smart phones and finds the route from their current location through Google Map application Program Interfaces (API). An informative survey of different hospitals in Coimbatore is conducted to obtain an accurate list of hospitals. With the help of this application, a ward can find the patient location with abnormal details.
