Abstract
Healthcare monitoring is a field that caught many researchers from the computer science community in the last decade. In the literature, various levels of people have been considered when proposing a health monitoring system. However, some aspects are still not adequately tackled such as monitoring workers’ health status within confined space where workers would be located in underground environment with less oxygen and a lot of dust. This paper proposes an IoT health monitor system for worker in confined places. The proposed system utilizes four types of microcontroller sensors including LM35 for measuring body temperature, heart beat rate sensor, blood pressure sensor and LPG gas sensor. All the aforementioned sensors are being connected via a GPS module in order to transmit the readings into a smartphone application. A simulation has been conducted to test the proposed sensors where competitive commercial measures have been used as a benchmark. Result of simulation showed that the sensors have fair accuracy that is near-identical to the benchmark.

Summary
The growth of modern network technologies such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) have significantly contributed toward improving wide range of tasks [1,2,3,4]. The proposed system was intended to examine remote patient by employing wide range of Arduino sensors that have the ability to check up the medical situation of the patients and send such information to the hospital. Gopi et al [13] have proposed a health monitoring system based on IoT network where body temperature and heart rate are being checked using micro-controller Arduino. Nowshin et al [14] designed and implemented a health monitoring system based on various micro-controller in order to collect information regarding body temperature, heart beats and blood glucose level. This paper proposes a health monitor system for workers in confined locations
