Wireless Patient Monitoring System: IoT in Healthcare

Abstract

Abstract: In the conventional medical field, diagnosis often requires numerous sensors and significant human effort, posing challenges for large-scale implementation due to the scarcity of medical professionals and infrastructure. Addressing this issue, this research proposes an IoT-based healthcare application aimed at continuous wireless monitoring of patients, utilizing both web and mobile platforms. The system's primary objective is to create a cost-effective solution for transmitting vital patient signs during emergencies. Sensors are employed to measure these signs, with data transmitted via a wireless network to the cloud for storage, facilitated by a Wi-Fi module connected to a controller. Cloud-based processing enables analysis of the data, with subsequent feedback provided remotely to medical professionals for further assessment. This remote viewing alleviates the burden on doctors while offering accurate patient health status updates. Additionally, in urgent situations, the system automatically alerts doctors, ensuring prompt attention to critical cases. These innovations promise to streamline healthcare delivery, enhancing patient care and reducing the strain on medical resources
