IoT Based System For Home Monitoring Of Human Vital Signs

Abstract

Due to current pandemic situation, it is difficult for old/aged people to go out to hospitals for consulting the doctor. The people in rural areas cannot obtain professional healthcare services or emergency medical facilities due to long distance to hospital from their home, lack of doctors, hospitals and also lack of specialist doctor. The people in urban areas cannot find time to go to hospitals for their monthly checkup or for any small health issues. Hence the solution for all these issues or problems is, health care monitoring system using technology called IoT. As we are in the generation of industry 4.0, technologies such as IoT, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, play a vital role in our day-to-day life. As the technology is growing day by day, life is also becoming much simpler, better, faster, smart with the use of these technologies. Also by the application of these technologies, we can reduce human efforts, where by sitting at one place we can perform many tasks. Health care being a global issue, especially in India with more population, where most of who stay in rural areas are deprived of health care services. With industry 4.0 technology, we can build a IoT based device for monitoring the human vital signs, Using which, we can communicate between networked devices wirelessly, which would help the patient to get better treatment or better consultation from doctor without consulting the doctor physically. In the current situation, this system can also be effectively used for constantly monitoring covid patients requiring home isolation.
