Design and Implementation of Telemedicine System Using Light Fidelity and PIC16F877A Microcontroller
Abstract: Medical body area networks currently use wireless communication technology to give patients and carers more freedom and convenience. The possibility of electromagnetic waves interfering with precision medical equipment still exists, though. This study uses the newly developed wireless visible light communication (VLC) technology to provide a novel design and implementation of a medical healthcare information system. VLC also referred as light fidelity (Li-Fi). Visible light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are expected to overtake traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights as the dominant lighting source in the near future owing to their energy efficiency, can be used with VLC. In this research the patient's health is monitored using sensors, and an LCD will display the results. An LED lightbulb will communicate the data in the form of light. The photo-detector at the receiving end gathers the transmitted data, shows the output on an LCD, and informs the carers by beeping every 15 seconds for respiration and 30 seconds for heartbeat. These lighting fixtures can function as wireless data transmission devices in addition to sources of illumination by utilising the fast switching power of LEDs. Hospital regions with restricted radio frequencies can benefit from data services and monitoring provided by the prototype VLC-based medical healthcare system.
