Monitoring Health Index of Patient Using IoT in Smart Home Environment

Abstract

Internet of Things is an ecosystem of connected physical objects that are accessible through the internet. IoT devices are used in almost all fields and the bio medical is not an exception. In health care centers patients and data such as heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure needs to be constantly monitored. Implementing IoT based health care system enables the patients to be monitored at anywhere. The proposed system continuously monitors the heart rate, air quality of the room (O2 concentration), patient position (To detect the patient fall) and updates the sensed value to the cloud using Wi-Fi module. A GUI is implemented to view the sensed values of the sensor. In an IoT based systems, security will be a major concern. When it comes to biomedical, security breaches and data theft can lead to a major problem or even can cost the patients’ lives. The proposed system concentrates on providing the secured access to the sensed values of the patients and the access can be implemented using various security systems such as Biometric, retinal scanner and RFID reade,implemented with RFID module.
