# WIZ750SR Based Remote Health Monitoring with Amazon Alexa

> In modern world, it's very difficult to keep check on patients' health. With my project, you just need to ask Alexa for their pulse rate.

### The Need

It is very difficult to keep the track of health patients specially the ones in ICU. Nurses and Doctors don’t know the pulse rate of a patient when they are not near the equipment.

My project Health Buddy which uses Amazon Alexa Voice Service to tell you the Real-time Patient Pulse over the Internet with the help of WIZnet WIZ750SR.

### Future Scope

Currently this prototype can only tell pulse rate of one patient but with the array of sensors we can extend it to multiple patients and not just monitoring pulse rate but also the Glucose, Blood Pressure and more vital stats.

Want to build one? Follow the steps below, Pull Requests are always welcomed ![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11.2.0/svg/1f642.svg)

### Step 1

- **DownloadtheWIZnetTool**

<https://github.com/Wiznet/WIZnet-S2E-Tool-GUI>

*Install* Python 3 if not installed.

```plaintext
sudo apt-get install python3
```

and for Windows Download from [python.org](https://www.python.org/)

- **Connect yourWIZNET to PC and LAN using Serial to USB Converter.**

- **PressSearch.**

- **Selectthe device and Configure with the following values.Operation mode** -> TCP server

**Local IP** -> any IP address that falls in the range of your LAN

**Gateway** -> To get this type “ipconfig” in cmd/ “ifconfig” in terminal

**Local port** -> 80

**Baud rate** -> 115200

**Data bit** -> 8

**Parity** -> None

**Stop bit** -> 1

**Flow control** -> None
