Real-Time Health Monitoring System using IoT for Comatose Patients

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) based smart devices has been reshaping human life through providing assistance in making smarter decisions and yielding response to the users based on analysis of data. Among various aspects of life, patients require continuous care and uninterrupted observations and IoT makes this possible by providing various real-time health conditions of the patients. Specifically, IoT based health monitoring system act as a feasible and effective solution for the users and doctors. In this paper, a soft real-time health monitoring system based on application and web based monitoring portal is developed for the comatose patients. Using the developed system doctor can monitor and also update health data of patients. The system is developed using Raspberry pi microcomputer, sensors, and some connecting wires. The system collects all information like heart rate, blood pressure, urine output, temperature, humidity, and motion detection from sensors. It gives alerts if any parameter exceeds normal limit and it also updates status on the website and on the developed application.
