Abstract
Though the earth is heading toward automation, there are still many works which could be performed only by mankind. Such jobs always tend to be dangerous and life demanding. Even today, jobs like sewage cleaning and mining fall under this category. In such cases, real-time health monitoring systems for these workers will be helpful. In this paper, the device presented will monitor the heart beat rate, the body temperature, the methane concentration and also the atmospheric oxygen concentration and provides alert to the worker and the exterior unit. When parameters deviate from the safe limit range, it will alert the workers to stay safe and detect toxic gases before any harm.
