AB  - Human resources is the backbone of
developing and under developed nations. In most of the
developing countries and in the smart cities medical
system is not centralized for sharing the information.
Mostly pregnant women is not able to do their regular
check-ups at the early stage of pregnancy and this leads to
higher mortality rate in case of infant and maternal in the
rural areas. Due to these issues, the society is facing an
immense health problem. In the existing method the
people in the rural areas find difficult to travel over miles
to have a doctor consultation if, so having a doctor
consultation they are exposed to ultrasound scan and
along with that some vital signs is measured and it is
processed by Bluetooth technology. In order to overcome
these issue, various sensors are used to measure the vital
parameters such as blood pressure, blood glucose level
and heart beat rate. The aim is to develop a compact Near
Field Communication (NFC) device for rural pregnant
women in order to access the vital signs of maternal and
foetus with low cost using recent sensors and IoT.
