IOT Based Health Monitoring System

Abstract

In this research paper, an IOT based health monitoring is discussed, which will help us in keeping a check on the temperature, humidity and pulse rate of a patient s body through a mobile phone. Such a system has been proposed sut to its importance in performing a regular check on the patient s health in the situation of casualties, which are very prevalent in this pandemic situation of COVID. In such a situation, when the patient cannot be monitored closely by face-to-face monitoring, the proposed system helps in the monitoring of health parameters. Here, a fingertip heartbeat sensor to calculate the pulse rate along with DHT11 sensor to calculate the temperature and humidity of the patient s body is used. Also, Node MCU as a microcontroller is employed, a Wi-Fi module is already in it and an I2C module is used to convert serial data to parallel data for LCD screen.
