Patient Health Monitoring System
PROJECT
Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing plays a vital role in today’s Tele-
monitoring health system. This system keeps track of patient’s physiological
parameters through collection of body sensors’ data using Raspberry Pi
board. The patient’s health card are developed by the doctors and displayed
on a webpage where doctors and patients can access and communicate
each other without physical presence [1]. Using cloud computing, the data
can be stored, updated and accessed from anywhere in the world. It is very
suitable for rural areas where medical facilities are not available. In Remote
health monitoring system using IoT, Body wireless sensor Network (BWSN)
is used to transmit the patients’ health parameters collected through
Raspberry Pi microcontroller to the physicians and caretaker wirelessly [2].
Being long range wireless technology, emergency situation of the patient’s
health is quickly detected and timely intervention leads to save the life of the
patient. Owing to costlier healthcare and long waiting time in hospitals, the
concept of in-home patient monitoring system have been emerging in the
recent years.
This system collects data of various body parameters through Biosensors,
wearable devices and smart textiles and it transmits the data to central node
server securely through Cipher text Policy Attribute Based Encryption (CP-
ABE) method. In turn, the server shares the collected data to the hospitals for
further treatment. The server rings alarm to the ambulance [3] during
emergency situation. It is very beneficial for elders and chronic patients who
require continuous monitoring. The specialized healthcare monitoring system
for elderly people is a growing need in the aging population world. This
system performs basic health checkups by measuring the body parameters
regularly and report the data to the doctors. The result data are then displayed
as statements in a web application where doctors and patients can interact
with each other[4]. Evaluation is of two parts: 1) Qualitative interviewing and
2) Quantitative Survey. The main challenge is to make elders equipped with
for growing new technologies and to become familiarity towards Smartphone,
computer, etc. IoT based Smart healthcare with the help of smart devices and
objects improves the healthcare monitoring system effectively, thus by
reducing the inefficiencies of existing healthcare system.
Smart devices with new and upgraded technologies enhances the data
accuracy to be collected, real-time accessibility of patient’s condition,
intelligent integration of data collected, maintaining the integrated data
smartly through cloud service, etc. [5]. IoT along with smart devices reduce
complexity and complications in the healthcare system. The penetration of
mobile technologies and smart devices over healthcare system cause huge
impact on the world. The full-fledge utilization of M-health and E-health
applications in today’s world is made aware to the people for improving and
maintaining the good quality of life. Apart from regular monitoring of patients
condition through M-health system, the main objective is to educate them
through recommendations of healthy eating habits and effective workout
routines for improving their quality of healthy life [6].
