Abstract
<p>Epidemic diseases patients need constant monitoring of their health, whether in the hospital or at home, and this requires great costs. The employment of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence concepts helps reduce these costs. This paper introduces a real-time monitoring system for monitoring pneumonia patients that will allow doctors to monitor the health of their patients remotely through smartphones or internet-connected devices. To verify the proper functioning of this system, a real-time monitoring device was developed. A secure mechanism is designed to establish a wireless connection to the monitoring unit.</p>
Highlights
The accelerated development and advances in Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor network, mobile technology, cloud computing, and better internet coverage changed the way healthcare is approached around the world [1,2,3,4]
The IoT healthcare monitoring prototype has been tested to make sure that all elements and components work properly, and to check its functionality, reliability and performance
The research covered the design and implementation of a real-time healthcare monitoring system based on IoT for epidemic disease patients
Summary
The accelerated development and advances in Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor network, mobile technology, cloud computing, and better internet coverage changed the way healthcare is approached around the world [1,2,3,4]. Rapid developments in computer and communication technologies have contributed greatly to the modern healthcare systems. These technologies offer innovative ways to treat health problems in medical centers and beyond. IoT recently is started to use in smart rehabilitation to extend the health services outside hospitals to home, these services might include monitoring and connecting of all healthcare resources (e.g., rehabilitation center, physician, nurses, ambulance, etc) with patients [5,7]. Sensing technologies is used to detect and measure many physiological parameters regarding the patients (e.g., heart rate, temperature, pulse oximeter. etc) which could reflect smart health devices which can monitor patients, iJOE ‒ Vol 17, No 01, 2021
