11. project: Hypertension during pregnancy is common. A woman may bé Hypertensive while entering pregnancy or during pregnancy Hypertension, during pregnancy, causes severe problems. Therefore Pregnant woman with hypertension is high risk. A Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. An increase in Blood Pressure/ Hypertension first picked up after the 20t week of pregnancy is called ‘Pre-Eclampsia’, which is now one of the leading health problems during pregnancy. headache, hepatic Pre-Eclampsia causes visual disturbances, urine ischaemia, placenta abruption, oedema, reduced output(proteinuria), and liver problems. It also causes fetal problems. If left undetected will lead to ‘Eclampsia’ causing a seizure, renal failure and stroke. While physicians promote regular check-ups for pregnant women ranging from monthly to weekly depending on gestational age, medicine in rural areas both domestically and globally is often limited by resources that prevent access to quality care. : Presser/rolloy, their Pre-eclampsia deve! As such, Pregnant woman lopmental risk. : this type of cost-effective, robust, diagnostic tool could be useful for Pregnant wom. for developing pre-eclampsia, developed regions. and straightforward en to track their risk both in resource-limited areas and The project also features an app with the following scope. * To guide the patient through voice commands and pictures during the Rollover test. To store the data of the patient and communicate it to the hospital through cloud services. To enable efficient communication with the Doctor and the patient without travelling to the hospital for regular check-ups. + To also monitor other factors that contribute to pre-eclampsia using sensors(pulse, temperature, pressure etc) and diagnose the same. |Overall, The project enables the pregnant woman to stay indoors, while being able to communicate with the hospital and assess any risks during pregnancy, as paying a visit to the hospital, during the ongoing pandemic increases the risk of infection for the mother and baby. 12. Methodology > sure the lin this project, the rollover test has been automated to m Ivarying levels of blood pressure; during the test, the patient is guided Jy voice and pictorial notes, to perform the test accurately. The lcalculated data is further stored in the cloud and transmitted to the \concerned Doctor through the smartphone application. ‘The working of this project is as follows: + The app is interfaced with a questionnaire regarding patient's: physical stature, pregnancy and family history of diabetes and pre-eclampsia. + After storing the information in the cloud, the app further ‘collects more information on body temperature, pressure, oxidation level from various sensors present in the wearable. _ a 5 The patient is then provided information to take up the Rollover/Supine Pressor Test regularly. ‘The app, with the help of programmed voice and picture notes, guides the patient throughout the test, to obtain precise results. Firstly, the individual’s blood pressure is first measured while she is sitting with her arms rested and legs uncrossed. Secondly, she is made to lie on her sidearm and checked again until the BP sensor confirms a stable measurement. ‘After attaining a constant BP, the patient gets into the supine position, with the help of the accelerometer and blood pressure sensor, the smartphone application aligns the patient in specific degrees during the test and records the Blood Pressure readings. If the patient is found to be in an erroneous position, the application instantly identifies it and prompts the user to correct herself. ‘The Rollover test is repeated for five consecutive times to get an optimal value. ‘The application categories the results depending on the BP values obtained for each of the positions. ‘The'computed results and obtained data is saved in the cloud and henceforth transmitted to the hospital and concerned Doctor for further medication. ‘Thus, the patient can communicate with the hospital effectively from home and perform the tests on their own without having to risk infection by Covid-19, going to the hospital. in case of fabrication work in the project, an engineering drawing with \dimensions / detailed design should be attached to the proposal. 13. Expected Outcome of the project : [By this project, a wearable sensor is developed that can automate the [Rollover test and measure blood pressure, body position, temperature, other factors contributing to the early diagnosis of Preeclampsia and rans e results to the hospital through to id ‘i lwomen at risk of developing preeclampsia, ee
