Abstract: It is very essential to continuously monitor the unconscious/coma patients to understand their health condition. The main objective of the proposed is to accomplish two tasks Monitoring and alerting the medical person, when the comatose gains consciousness using motion detection system. Continuous recording and analysis of vital signals of the patient such as Pulse rate and temperature and alert the doctor whenever attention is needed. Wearable Motion sensor system is used to monitor the body movements such as eye blink movement and hand movement to detect the conscious state of an individual. This system will be helpful in assisting the doctor about the health condition of the unconscious patient and alerting the doctor whenever care is required. The proposed system will assist the doctor by giving an alarm about the health condition of the patient, when the set of vital signals recorded are out of the normal range. These results are displayed on the computer and on the Liquid crystal display (LCD).
