Abstract
To provide smart health care service in a hospital, a prototype of a fingerprint recognition-based multi-user wireless nurse calling system has been designed and presented in this paper. The proposed system also has an attractive feature to circulate any common information or emergency message to the patients. This message can be sent by any authorized doctor or hospital management authority from any place within the LAN network. The use of fingerprint makes the system more robust and secure, i.e. there is no chance to access the system by any unauthorized person. The health care management system can work up to 700 m circular distance. The Arduino, ATmega328P, nRF24L01 + PA + LNA, fingerprint scanner, LED display, speaker, etc. hardware components have been used to build the prototype, and these hardware accessories are commercially available anywhere and comparatively low cost. Instead of a conventional wired setup, a wireless health care management system ensures easy maintenance and simpler and fast deployment. Flexibility and versatility are guaranteed by wireless tuning. Since the proposed system prototype shows satisfactory performance during practical trials, the system can be considered as a suitable candidate for the health care management system of a hospital or any health care center.
