Design and implementation of smart HealthCare system using IoT

Abstract

Diagnosis, and monitoring of health is a very important task in healthcare industry. Due to time constraint, people are not visiting hospitals, which might and possibly lead to a lot of health issues in one instant of time. Predominantly most of the healthcare systems have been developed to predict and diagnose the health of the patients by which people who are busy in their schedule can also monitor their health at regular intervals. Many studies show that early prediction is the best way to cure health because early diagnosis will help and alert the patients to know the health status. Healthcare being a global issue more particularly India being a most populated nation where majority of which live in villages deprived of healthcare facilities on real time basis continuously and regularly. With the increasing use of technology, there is an urgent need to have such a smart health monitoring system that can communicate between network devices and application which will help the patients and doctors to monitor, track and record the patient's sensitive data containing medical information. This paper depicts the idea of solving health issues using the latest technology, Internet of Things (IoT). It presents the architectural review of smart healthcare system using Internet of Things(IoT) which is aimed to provide a Better HealthCare to everyone. Using this system architecture, patient's body parameters can be measured in real time. Sensors collect patients body parameters and transfers that data to Microcontroller ATMEL 89s52 which further transfer that data to the MySQL database server. This MySQL database server manages the data and provides accessibility. The patient can view this data with the help of Android App. Which one can install in Smartphone, or Tablet. If data is abnormal then patient gets notification also care takers will get emergency message. With the help of different decision making algorithms decisions can be made easily and fast and according to it people can have access to the database. The patient can check their medical record Hence, the system provides a Better HealthCare to everyone and error free and smooth communication to patients.
