Design a Remote Patient Health Monitoring System (RPHMS) Using IoT

Abstract

Healthcare has become one of the principal issue with the rise in human population and medical expenditure. For a healthy life, it is essential to follow human body’s vital signals. Continuous Monitoring of patient’s vital signals cannot be provided outside hospital. As it is hard to monitor the patient’s condition for 24 hours, it was proposed in this paper to observe continuously the condition of patient despite the patient being busy with his routine and to screen the health status to the doctors through Internet of Things. This paper proposes health monitoring system using non-intrusive biomedical sensors that measure five parameters like ECG, SPO2, toxic gas, temperature and blood pressure. Proposed method makes use of Arduino Uno Controller to which non-invasive biomedical sensors are connected. The output is displayed on any digital monitoring system using Arduino Uno. The data obtained from the sensors is uploaded to the Thing Speak cloud to store and to access patient’s information by their doctors or by the concerned for necessary follow-ups in real-time. IoT is a powerful domain where sensors can connect and data is viewed over the Internet.
