An Implementation of IoT System for Smart Hospitals to Monitor Patients

Computer Engineering

Internet of Things (IoT) enable humans to urge high level of automate by establish system using sensors, interconnected devices and Internet. In ICU, patient monitoring is serious and most vital activity, as small delay in decision associated with patients’ treatment may cause permanent disability or maybe death. Most of ICU devices are equipped with various sensors to calculate health parameters, but to watch it all the time remains challenging job. We are proposing IOT based system, which may help to fast conveying and identifying emergency and initiate communication with healthcare staff and also helps to initiate proactive and quick treatment. This health care system reduces possibility of human mistakes, delay in communication and helps doctor to spare longer in decision with accurate observations. With the rapid development of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, some traditional business sectors are embracing new possibilities. Particularly, in the field of healthcare, the IoT technology is transforming the landscape and posing high requirements on the hospital resource management. This paper develops an IoT system that could be deployed in hospitals for various applications, supports LoRa, Wi-Fi and other data collection methods, uploads the data to the cloud platform for further processing through a secure connection, and feeds back to users in real-time through the user interface. This article contains an introduction to the implementation and structure of the system, as well as a simple demonstration design and test results. Index Terms—Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, Data Visualization, UWB Position, ECG Signal, LoRa, MQTT.
