Abstract

Unexpected and sudden health complications like heart attacks, brain strokes, accidents and others are difficult to be dealt with at the proper time because the patient is unable to call for medical help. This kind of incidents often cause the patient's life. In this paper, we suggest an automatic mechanism, which can call for medical help or give warning signs that a health complication may occur. The solution is based on a new telecommunication technology called WiMAX which provides broadband wireless connection.
