Utilization of IoT-Based Healthcare System and Vital Data Monitoring of patients

Abstract

The next generation of technology, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), will provide a comprehensive system that connects different domains, functions, and innovations. With the increasing demand for elderly care due to the growing ageing population, health monitoring systems have become increasingly important. Continuous monitoring is required in ICU to monitor the health conditions of patients. In cases where patients are released from the hospital, they are advised to rest and observed for a certain period, and the IoT system is very helpful in such cases. This article primarily discusses the implementation of a precise autonomous medical facility management system using IoT. In the past, only current data was displayed, and the patient's history could not be accessed. In this study, we propose an IoT-based healthcare system for continuous monitoring of a patient's health conditions. The healthcare system focuses on measuring and monitoring various biological parameters of the patient's body, such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level, and temperature, using a web server and an Android application. Doctors can continuously monitor the patient's condition on their smart phones using the Android application. Moreover, the patient's history will be stored on the web server, and doctors can access the information from anywhere without being physically present.
