A SMART HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING AND ANALYSIS

Computer Engineering

IoT in healthcare is the key player in providing better medical facilities to the patients and facilitates the doctors and hospitals as well. The proposed system here consists of various medical devices such as sensors and web based or mobile based applications which communicate via network connected devices and helps to monitor and record patients’ health data and medical information. The proposed outcome of the paper is to build a system to provide world-class medical aid to the patients even in the remotest areas with no hospitals in their areas by connecting over the internet and grasping information through about their health status via the wearable devices provided in the kit using a raspberry pi microcontroller which would be able to record the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure. The system would be smart to intimate the patient’s family members and their doctor about the patient’s current health status and full medical information in case any medical emergency arises. The collected information can be used to analyze and predict chronic disorders or other diseases such as heart attacks in preliminary stage itself using the data mining techniques that will also provide the approach advantageous for decision making.
