Abstract

A cost-effective healthcare monitoring system equipped with a set of medical sensors to measure body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse rate of a haemodialysis patient is currently in great need. This real-time healthcare monitoring system is portable and designed in a way such that the changes in blood pressure, pulse, and temperature of the patient undergoing dialysis can be monitored by doctors or nurses using their smartphones. The monitoring system sends the reading of these parameters to the medical staff through smartphones with the support of Bluetooth modules. The patient data can then be viewed using an Android app. Thus, this healthcare monitoring system would be of great use during the process of haemodialysis as it ensures the temperature, blood pressure, and pulse rate of the patient do not fall below or cross the designated values. These kinds of monitoring systems are beneficial for both doctors and patients as it offers improved quality of medical care given to the patient, 24 × 7 assurance, and overall improved support and feedback to the medical team. As a result, it improves the quality of the treatment.
