IoT-Based Skin Monitoring System

Abstract

The numbers of patients with skin diseases reported a dramatic increase which is a major concern and must be dealt with. The method of diagnosis is always based on physician’s observations and experiences. Many common symptoms such as side effects, allergies and even risks of skin cancer can be seen in someone following misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and failure to diagnose. The evaluation of skin changes is crucial to the correct diagnosis during follow-up. Through technological advances and partnerships, skin disorders can be identified and predicted and medical diagnosis outside physical limits are made. The article proposed an IoT-based skin surveillance system that facilitates the monitoring of skin patients in remote locations. In a diagnostic device for real-time skin monitoring and analysis, the proposed system architecture can be applied. A sensor fitted medical carriage is proposed in a remote location to treat individuals suffering from a common skin disorder. The system is also designed to research the impact of climate change on the disease through environmental sensors and provide pre-alertfor prevention. This addresses the many problems that people in remote areas without restricted treatment facilities face.
