Health is most valuable resource of every human being. Hence it should give highest attention and care. Due to increase in population, there arises huge demand to provide proper health-care services. Due to the busy schedule, standard of living and food habits, health problems like diabetes, blood pressure, and heart attack cases are increasing. Thus, there is need of a system using which people can monitor such common health issues from home and visiting doctor for regular health check-up can be avoided. This saves a lot of people's time. Detections of some symptoms can be done by using sensors. It delivers the health-care services from remote patients to doctor. Cloud computing is gaining popularity for the way it shares data. Hence it can be used to exchange data of health care systems. This is done using IOT, which is used to connect the everyday things through internet. The cloud can store a large amount of data in its database. The health parameter values are stored in cloud. The cloud maintains the records until the user deletes it. It stores the health parameter values in the form of graph so it will be easy for the patient to interpret his health issues. But the data sent to cloud is not secured and hence the private data of the individual is at stake. Thus here, the security for cloud computing is provided to assure privacy. In this paper, values of health parameter are obtained by the sensors and are sent to RaspberryPi from which, it is sent to cloud. Also RaspberryPi displays these values on LCD display and has LED and buzzer module to indicate severity. By this life of an individual is made even easier by collecting the health information from the place wherever the patient is present and updating it to cloud so that the data can be retrieved, anytime and anyplace.
