Swaleha Shaikh, Vidya Chitre · 2017 International Conference on Trends in Electronics and Informatics (ICEI) · 2017
Health-related issues have been regarded as one of the main problems which directly impact quality of life of a person and development of the nation. Avoidance of healthcare monitoring negatively results in many aspects. Among the extensive applications enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), digital health care is a mainly essential one. Internet of Things (IoT) provides a new life to the healthcare field. One of the better ways is where the doctors are able to certainly and quickly use the relevant patient information through the help of internet of things to take suitable actions. This tremendously improves the quality of information and the patient care in the Medical field. So, Internet of Things offers a concrete platform to connect all the resources and improve the quality of life. The proposed system presents a personal healthcare system that is both flexible and scalable. Making use of embedded wearable sensors, the system monitors the health parameters dynamically. The acquired data is transmitted to the Raspberry pi i.e. the processor which will process and analyze the data. This analyzed data is stored on cloud for scalability and flexibility purpose. Results of the analysis are then automatically sent to the doctor when a critical condition occurs.
