Remote Pregnancy Monitoring System (RPMS) is proposed to help pregnant women during their pregnancy period. The system will monitor a pregnant woman during her 40 weeks of pregnancy. A pregnant woman, being at home, can receive her pregnancy related tips daily through a knowledge-base system based on her pregnancy period, symptoms and input reports. Furthermore, she can be registered to an expert gynecologist for further remote assistance based on her medical history and inputs provided. The system also provides a social module to connect with other pregnant women and expert gynecologists on a single social platform to discuss pregnancy related issues and
problems.
Introduction:
It is very hard for pregnant women living away from cities or in rural areas to get expert opinion for their problems from a qualified doctor. RPMS will be developed to educate and advise pregnant women during their 40 weeks of pregnancy. The system will be capable and intelligent to advise based on the knowledge base developed. It will help reducing the stress level of patient, especially, the first timers; which will also, eventually, reduce the pregnancy problems that occur due to lack of knowledge and help control the health of baby and mother through constant monitoring. It will establish a constant link between a gynecologist and a patient during the whole pregnancy period also. Furthermore, the system will send pregnancy related tips and advices based on the inputs and historical reports. The system will provide quick online consultancy from other experts in a cost effective manner by being at home reducing the number of trips to hospitals during pregnancy period.
Motivation and Scope:
During pregnancy, constant care and monitoring is required for a successful and healthy delivery of baby; furthermore, the frequent trips to gynecologists are costly. Moreover, unavailability of experts in rural areas may lead to health problems for a pregnant woman and her baby. Scope of this application is to assist pregnant women during pregnancy period through intelligent monitoring and control by using knowledge base and/or an expert's guidance. A social forum for pregnant women and gynecologists will facilitate the task of discussions and further care through successful experiences of patients and experts.
