Design and Implementation of Smart E-Health System Based on Cloud Computing to Monitor the Vital Signs in Real-Time and Measurements Validation

Abstract

Abstract Wearable devices used to monitor patients are classified as part of mobile health, one of the branches of e-health. They are widely used to monitor the vital signs of patients outside of the health institutions environment. The aim of this paper is to design a device that can be worn at low cost and of small size to provide comfort to the patient. The accuracy of this device should be high compared to the benchmark. Also, this study takes into account real-time remote monitoring based on the wireless sensor network and cloud computing where cloud computing is integrated with the Internet of Things to solve the problem of the flow of the huge amount of data. The Wearable Remote Vital Signs Monitoring System (WRVSMS) was manufactured by a printed circuit board, where the ESP01, MAX30100, NTC, OLED, and Li-ion battery were used. The WRVSMS was connected to the cloud server via the HTTP protocol where the data was stored and analysed. The WRVSMS works on basis the combining data of vital signs through which the stakeholders to whom the alert is sent will be assigned based on the patient‘s case where the alert will be sent, which is short message to the stakeholders that are important in rescuing the patient when the patient‘s vital signs are outside threshold. The results showed that the device is 99.37% accurate and statistical analysis was performed to test the error.
