Study and Design of Smart Embedded System for Remote Health Monitoring Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoTs) plays a significant role in directly integrating physical world with computer-based systems by sensing and controlling various features, even remotely, which leads to a reduction in human intervention to a larger extent. This results in improved efficiency, better accuracy and easily accessible data. This chapter proposes the study and implementation of remotely accessible health monitoring system to monitor blood pressure level with IoT. It enables the user to improve health-related risks by collecting vital signs, i.e. temperature, blood pressure, sugar level, etc., of the patients and communicating these information to detector in real-time scenario. After proper examination of the current status and full medical information, it also aids in transmitting the accurate decision taken by doctor and precautionary measures required to be taken by the patients. In this manner, patients are constantly under the observation of doctor, even being physically apart with each other. Thus, IoT serves as a catalyst for health care by creating a brilliant and efficient network.
