Application of embedded system for a genetic disease, sickle cell anemia

Abstract

Embedded system has emerged as an important engineering technology in various biomedical applications. It is used as both invasive and non-invasive sensors for sensing, processing, transportation, archiving and visualization mostly using a computing device. It directly helps human kind in medical and paramedical applications that includes clinical analysis, monitoring and patient management. Non-availability of generic architecture disable the design and manufacturing of this type of autonomous embedded system and also becomes a latent and highly expensive task. Here, this paper proposes one kind of embedded system for application of an incurable genetic disease, sickle cell anemia (SCA) by integrating engineering and technologies using ARM 7 micro controller.
