Implementation of Smart Health Monitoring System Using Edge Computing

Abstract

The last ten years have seen a shift in the healthcare monitoring systems, making them one of the most important systems. Because of a lack of timely medical attention for individuals suffering from various illnesses, humans are struggling with the issue of untimely mortality. The main objective was to create a dependable IoT-based patient monitoring system that would enable healthcare providers to keep track of their patients, whether they are in a hospital or at home, in order to provide better treatment. Sensors, a data collecting unit, and a microprocessor make up the majority of a mobile device-based wireless healthcare monitoring system that was built in order to offer real-time online information about a patient's physiological status. The Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, cloud computing, and other emerging information technologies have all contributed to the development of smart healthcare. The Internet of Things (IoT) concepts have been widely applied to connect the available medical resources and provide patients with intelligent, dependable, and efficient healthcare. One of the paradigms that can harness the benefits of the IoT to improve the patient's lifestyle is health monitoring for active and supported living. We have introduced an IoT architecture that has been specially designed for healthcare applications in this project. Hence the proposed architecture collects the sensor data through Node MCU microcontroller
