Abstract The current research looked at how to use the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a vital sign health monitoring system. Eight indications are employed to get critical patient information. Therefore, the number of nodes of the IoT embedded in the human body is 8, which have been worked on in different places of the body. Among the 8 nodes, node number 1 is located in the center of the grid (the center of the human body). The number of rounds is 9000 and the nodes are adopted with the initial energy of the nodes of 0.5 J and the radio range of 10 m. MATLAB software was used to simulate the WBAN network, which consists of IoT sensors embedded in the human body. The eight-item health assessment tool takes the following into account: pulse rate, blood pressure (mm Hg), serum cholesterol (mg/dl), temperature (°C), exercise-induced angina, and exercise-induced ST-wave depression, major blood vessels are counted using a medical procedure called endoscopy that involves examining the alveoli, which are small air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. We compared the number of major vessels at rest with the maximal heart rate during activity. The sensors were responsible for sending this data to the health center (base station). The data collected from the installation of these 8 sensors on 303 patients were collected and evaluated by machine learning method using MLP neural network method. Finally, it can be claimed that the present study has provided an automated method of determining the health of people using the IoT in a way that provides a state of health with an accuracy of over 99% and can be used in medical centers.
