The Future of Healthcare: Portable IoT based Patient Monitoring Systems

Abstract

The healthcare industry is currently the one with the fastest technological and service advancements. The most cutting-edge advancement in this field is the capacity to remotely or portably monitor patients, which is very beneficial given the rapidly expanding global population, rising healthcare costs, and limited access to medical institutions in less developed nations. A patient monitoring system is used to get the patient's vital signs. The patient's vital signs, including blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, ECG, and SpO2, are measured by this instrument. For the improvement of healthcare in the future, we have created and constructed an IoT-based patient monitoring system in this study. The device used in this study can record four parameters: body temperature, heart rate, SpO2, and ECG. The values can be viewed on an LCD, and the device's IoT base allows it to send data to a web application that can be easily accessed from any location. Given the issues, the gadget is designed to be affordable, dependable, and portable, making it simple for patients to roam around the hospital while being monitored for temperature, heart rate, and SpO2. Its accuracy is 98.11%, 98.11%, and 99.73%, respectively. Additionally, because medical gadgets are either unavailable or in restricted supply at hospitals, patients can utilize them at home.
