Patient health monitoring system using IoT

Abstract

Healthcare monitoring systems have been one of the most important system in the last decade, and they have become increasingly technological. Humans are facing various issue and untimely death due to multiple illness, due to a lack of medical treatment for patients. To overcome this issue a real time health monitoring system has proposed based on IOT. The proposed system consists of mobile application and GSM for continuous wireless monitoring of patients. The main aim is to create a dependable patient management system based on IoT so that healthcare professionals can monitor their patients who are either hospitalized or at home using an IOT based integrated healthcare system to ensure quality patient care. Sensors are used to track vital parameters, and the data collected by the sensors is sent to the cloud via a WiFi module. A wireless healthcare monitoring system has created that can provide real time online information about a patients conditions. The system is made up of sensors, a data acquisition unit, a microcontroller (i.e. ESP32) and software. The patients temperature, heart beat rate, ECG, blood pressure and SPO2 are regularly monitored, displayed and stored by the system and the same has been sent to the doctors mobile containing the application. Additionally a message is sent to the doctors mobile if any of the parameter crosses the threshold value. Thus, IOT based real time health monitoring system systematically monitor the condition of patients health and save their life on time.
