Design and Implementation of Remote Health Monitoring System Using IoT

Abstract

The advancement of the Internet of Things Technology (IoT) plays a crucial role in developing the health sector by making it much more accessible and affordable through easy-to-use applications for virtual and distant patient interactions. There are several scopes for IoT to make a difference in patients' lives. The devices can capture and monitor related patient data, allowing providers to obtain insights without bringing the patients visiting. The procedure can assist the patient results and prevent possible communications for the process that involves risk. To alleviate the problems above, we propose IoT Based Remote Health Monitoring System. The proposed prototype consists of two health sensors: a heart rate sensor (MAX30100) which measures the heart rate and blood oxygen level, body temperature sensor, which measures temperature. The IoT-based system is a real-time health monitoring system utilizing the measured values of the patient's body temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation, which are the most important measurements required for critical care. Node MCU reads all these sensors' data values of the patient. The data acquired from the sensors is transferred to cloud storage via the Node MCU. The cloud storage is continuously being updated in a real-time database, and from those values, the condition of the patients can be monitored remotely by doctors and health workers.
