Abstract
SummaryThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm that consists of a wide network of machines and intelligent devices with the capability of communication and interaction with each other. One of the significant issues for the IoT is its healthcare applications. The positioning systems based on their environment can be classified into two main categories: Indoor and outdoor. Recently, IoT indoor positioning attracts too much attention among researchers for patient monitoring. Hence, in this paper, a stress‐free floor plan indoor positioning algorithm for patient monitoring is proposed, called THIP. The history of the patient's movement is stored in a trajectory history, and this information is employed to estimate the patient's more accurate position. The proposed THIP algorithm is simulated in MATLAB software. Several experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed THIP algorithm raises patient positioning accuracy and declines the distance error cumulative compared to LiFS by about 4.68% and 60.6 m, respectively. Moreover, it can identify the floor level of the moving user.
