Abstract
This paper proposes a remote healthcare system which is referred to as Telemedicine. Telemedicine is a platform that estableshes a connection between the patient and the doctor. This platform belongs to the internet of medical things (IoMT) by enabling multiple medical sensors to connect to a server either using multiple communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GSM technologies. The system collects data from several sensors and sends them using one of the aforementioned technologies using an Arduino Board, while the interface is made with matlab and C#. Additionally, a comparative study between the three communications technologies used to connect the medical sensors to the server is investigated. And a recommendation of the best suited technology is provided with regard to the nature of the application itself.
Highlights
O According to [1], it is expected that by 2021 that the health market will reach $136.8 billion across the world
All remote healthcare systems are made available using the internet of things as a platform, it could be as basic as measuring blood pressure for a patient and advanced that it would be responsible for sending updates on special organ within the body or even a implanted organ for monitoring purposes [3,4]
This paper proposes a framework of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices where patients are able to get in contact with one of the medical professionals in the field, and send to the system, in real-time, medical data that are collected from wearable sensors attached to the patient's body
Summary
O According to [1], it is expected that by 2021 that the health market will reach $136.8 billion across the world. IoMT was proposed to reduce the effort in monitoring, informing, and notifying patients with updates. It can provide doctors with statistics and actual data to be used to identify and understand the sources of medical issues [1, 2]. It is considered a power consuming technology when compared to other methods [3, 4]. All remote healthcare systems are made available using the internet of things as a platform, it could be as basic as measuring blood pressure for a patient and advanced that it would be responsible for sending updates on special organ within the body or even a implanted organ for monitoring purposes [3,4].
