PHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HYPERTENSION PATIENTS BY MONITORING THE BRAIN WAVES

Abstract

The inability and the negligence in the detection of diseases is a major reason in the delay of treatment which may prove fatal. It is not possible for regular checkups in this time deprived world. Moreover, regular checkups are not feasible to everyone. The brain is the most interesting part of the human body. It controls the vital functions of the body and therefore any abnormality in the brain will reflect in the entire body and vice versa. The control of the brain is by the transmission of electric signals from and to the various parts of the body. The study and observation of these electrical signals will help us to find a lot of abnormalities which occur in the brain. Hence, this proposed work aims at overcoming the deficiency in time and money needed for the regular checkups. This is achieved by monitoring the brainwaves of the patient. The brainwave pattern of the patient is compared with the normal brainwave pattern. If an anomaly is observed in the patient’s brainwave pattern further comparisons with disease brainwave patterns are made. The disease pattern which matches with the patient’s pattern is identified as the disease. The patient is recommended for further tests on the disease. In this work, only hypertension patients are considered for the study of physiological analysis using Weka tool.
