Abstract: Modern technological development in automobile industry has drastically improved people’s way of living; therefore there is a need for monitoring of vehicles to heighten its longevity. Mortality rate is also on the rise due to the lack of timely and proper medical attention. Continuous health monitoring of patients using wearable and implantable body sensor networks will increase detection of emergency conditions during health crisis. By integrating vehicle tracking and continuous wireless patient monitoring system; we can enhance safety during travel. This system is user friendly, easily installable, easily accessible and economically viable. The conventional system of tracking using battery operated radio frequency identification (RFID) is only suitable for small range. To overcome this, GPS and GSM technologies are used which will receive the location coordinates and provides real-time information which can be observed from any other remote location. The established health monitoring system is not compact and understanding the output analog signals is a tedious task. Hence, in the designed health monitoring system patient’s physiological signals are acquired by the sensors attached on the patient body; if there are any abnormalities then a notification is sent and the vehicle is turned OFF using relay.
