Development of a Modified Medical Data Transmission over the Cellular Network System to Secure Health-Related Data from Changes in Environmental Parameters

Abstract

Patients are generally sent to hospitals during emergencies and life-threatening conditions using ambulances. The health problems of patients become more serious when the treatment is delayed. If the vital signs of patients inside an ambulance or a treatment area sent to a hospital in real time, the odds of saving lives will improve considerably. The patient’s medical needs can be arranged by paramedics with the doctors’ instructions until their arrival at the hospital. Information from past vital signs can also be archived their medical history. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that visualizes practically everything connected to the Internet. This opens access to a lot of tiny medical needs and emergency relief tools. As a proof of concept, a test model prototype was implemented using an IoT-enabled ambulatory vital sign sensor board and a remote hospital framework. The objective of the implementation of such a prototype blends IoT technology with healthcare services to provide a more efficient and patient-centred approach to monitoring and controlling health issues, particularly in instances when continuous remote monitoring is advantageous. The working of the proposed device was validated and the results were monitored for the health-related data collected during the testing period. This strategy promotes health monitoring in emergencies with eHealth Signals for medical assistance.
