Smart secure system for human health monitoring
R Nikhil Nair, K. Akshay Kiran · 2017
As the population is expanding around the world, there is an immense need to provide appropriate medical assistance to them. To meet this need, sensors are one such revolution which can be used to monitor a large population in a simple manner. The main idea of this paper is to provide a secure way of monitoring a patient0s health [very confidential data] in a real time process. The system uses MEMS based sensors which are wearable. These sensors are used to diagnose or monitor the patient continuously and thereby the data is made to correspond with a raspberry pi which is then connected to the cloud. According to the data stored in the cloud, the patient0s state is alerted to family doctor, hospital or an emergency ambulance. The patient0s (VIPs or any of their relatives) data which are stored in the cloud have to be secured. In this system, the data from pulse rate sensor and ECG sensor is collected to Arduino UNO R3 development board and then transmitted to Raspberry Pi which acts as a server. Then the data is sent to the MySQL database encrypted using AES cryptography written in PHP language.
