Design of Mobile Healthcare Monitoring System Using IoT Technology and Cloud Computing

Abstract

Abstract This project presents an implementation of wearable, portable, low power consumption, real-time remote bio-signals monitoring system based on the internet of thing technology. This implementation provides an improved step-in remote health monitoring field. Numbers of people, who require health care increase year by year and the conventional bio-signals monitoring systems require patients’ attendance in person inside hospitals. This might cause an inefficient situation to take care of the patients, especially those who have critical and unstable health conditions. Therefore, internet technology along with modern electronic devices could offer promising solutions in this field. Based on that, this project utilizes a mobile application as an IoT platform to monitor remotely the live ECG signal, heart rate, SPO2, and the body temperature of patients. The signals are measured and processed by using a microcontroller-based device (Arduino). The main contribution of this paper is sending an electrocardiogram (ECG signal) to a specific smart mobile phone to be watched by a doctor. This assists in heart diseases diagnosing before the worst case can happen. Finally, the obtained results of this project are illustrated on both smartphone and personal computer (PC) as well.
