Pavani Lakshmi Penmatsa, D. V. Rama Kkoti Reddy · 2016
Technology plays the major role in healthcare not only for sensory devices but also in data transfer accordingly and displaying it. Networked sensors, either worn on the body or embedded in our living environment, makes it possible for gathering rich information indicative of our physical and mental health in a smart approach. In this paper the Arduino based microcontroller is used as a gateway to communicate to the various sensors such as temperature sensor, ECG Sensor and pulse oximeter sensor etc. The microcontroller picks up the sensor data and sends it to the network through Bluetooth using Bluetooth module interfaced to Arduino. This paper mainly explains about detection of abnormalities in heart through specially designed ECG circuit and transmission of data to smart phone via Bluetooth. Hence provides real time monitoring of the health care parameters for doctors and care takers where data can be accessed anytime. This system is efficient with low power consumption capability, easy setup, high performance and time to time response. This paper explains in brief how IoT functions and how it is used in conjunction with wireless and sensing techniques to implement the desired healthcare applications.
