Health awareness is important with increasingly complex challenges towards maintaining good health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regular health monitoring is a must for everyone during the pandemic. This project proposed anIoT based E-Healthcaresystem to monitor thebody temperature, blood pressure and heartbeat rate.The temperature sensor wasconnected to a Raspberry Pi microcontroller and the readings were stored in the SQLitedatabase management system. The blood pressure and heartbeat rate readingswereretrieved from the wrist blood pressure sensorand the readings were enteredinto the database. The user canaccess the health data record through a smartphone.
