IOT Based Smart Health Monitoring System.

Abstract

The increasing trend of ageing populations across all over the world in recent years, has led to complex health issues, including the increase of heartbeat, less sleep time and less number of steps taken and rise in hospital and clinical services expenditures. Health monitoring is playing an important role in maintaining health for individuals, specifically for the elderly or people with heartbeat, less oxygen saturation, less sleep time and less number of steps taken. It can reduce hospitalization and increase the quality of life. Traditional health monitoring methods are difficult and time-consuming for all parties involved. These models will be insufficient to meet the need of medical services in our society. There has been a demand for developing efficient healthcare solutions which help to decrease the pressure on hospital systems and healthcare providers. This improves the quality of care as well as having a part in reducing healthcare costs by keeping patients out of hospitals for routine care. IoT is promising for developing remote healthcare monitoring systems. IoT applications provide a paradigm for connecting real and virtual entities, allowing them to interact, share information, and make choices in concert. In recent years, IoT-based applications in the medical field have drawn substantial attention of researchers and technologists. Our study proposes an IoT Tiered Architecture (IoTTA) for developing holistic and integrated sensor data-to-real-time clinical feedback applications. Health monitoring technologies based on the Internet of Things (IoT) are now potentially extremely valuable for elderly people. This research presents an IoT-based system that is a real-time health monitoring system that uses the patients’ measured values of body statistics (such as (bpm) heart rate, total steps count, how many miles will be covered, and how many calories burned), which are the most important measurements required for critical care. This system uses an IoT-based system with a watch sensor to detect these signals and displays them on an application screen that indicates the patient’s heart rate, total steps count, distance travelled, and calories burned. It can be simply synchronized with a mobile application for immediate access. IoT-based products might be beneficial to elderly patients in terms of saving lives. Smart health monitoring system is a IOT based application that we have developed. In this project our IoT device is Fitbit smart watch because we will fetch the data from a watch through its sensor. It will provide following statistics data from watch sensor such as steps count, bpm (beats per minute), calories burned, miles covered, user name, battery life, device name. These are all the data are fetch through Fitbit Api’s. All the data to be fetch from Fitbit server. By this, our application provide watch statistic to the patient. This application have some feature where patient can take advantages from it like medical description patient will upload its medical description which was given by its doctor. This description can be uploaded via a mobile camera or export image from its phone gallery. Patient can check their health status by entering their following credentials
