IoT BASED SMART HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM: A RECENT APPROACH AND ANALYSIS

Electronics Engineering

In India, near about 20% of the total population loses their lives due to interrupted health monitoring system i.e., in most of the hospitals doctor visits patient either in morning shift or in evening shift or in both shifts. What happens if patient’s health becomes critical in between that interval or when a doctor is not available with a patient? The answer is; a patient may lose his/her life. So to avoid this critical situation; A patient monitoring system is proposed by using IoT that monitors the patient using the sensor data and triggers a notification to the corresponding doctor in case of a emergency situation. The data of each patient is collected and stored for prediction purpose. This helps in increasing the health care of the individual. The patient’s caregivers and family members can ubiquitously monitor the videos and physiological records of the patient’s rehabilitation situation via the handheld mobile devices via the internet or wireless communication networks. This system is efficient with low power consumption capability, easy setup, high performance and time to time response. The security issue has been addressed by transmitting the data through password protected with GPRS and the users/doctor can access the data by logging to the web page.
