DEVELOPING AN EFFICIENT HEALTHCARE PARAMETER MONITORING SYSTEM UTILIZING IOT TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The healthcare monitoring systems has emerged as one of the most vital system and became technology
oriented from the past decade. Humans are facing a problem of unexpected death due to various illness which is
because of lack of medical care to the patients at right time. The primary goal was to develop a reliable patient
monitoring system using iot so that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either
hospitalized or at home using an iot based integrated healthcare system with the view of ensuring patients are cared
for better. A mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system was developed which can provide real time
online information about physiological conditions of a patient mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit,
microcontroller (i.e., Arduino), and programmed with a software. The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, data are
monitored, displayed and stored by the system and sent to the doctor’s mobile containing the application. Thus, iot
based patient monitoring system effectively monitor patient’s health status and save life on time.
