Internet of Things (IoT) based Health Monitor Device

Health is the centre of human enlightenment. Due to the recent Covid outbreak and several environmental pollutions, checking one's vitals regularly has become a necessity. Ours is an IoT-based device that measures a user's heart rate, blood oxygen level and body temperature. The device is compact and portable, making it easy for users to wear. The readings are measured and shown on an OLED display with the help of sensors. The data is also available on the cloud. A webpage and a mobile application were developed to view the data from the cloud. Individual graphs of the vitals with time are available on the mobile application. This can be used for progress measurement and statistical analyses. Authorized personnel can access the patient's vitals. This creates a scope for Tele-medication in rural and underdeveloped regions. Besides, one can also view his/her vitals for personal health routine. © 2022 IEEE.

IoT based medical assistant for efficient monitoring of patients in response to COVID-19

We have developed a complete model of monitoring patients at regular intervals through an interconnected network among the doctors, nurses and patients with a view to minimizing the workload of the doctors and nurses, reducing the chances of medical professionals being infected by COVID-19 type of contagious disease and increasing the overall efficiency of patient monitoring in hospitals. Bio-medical sensors interfaced with microcontroller are used to collect the data of heart beat rate, body temperature and body movement to get an overview of the present health condition of the patient. The recorded data are stored in an excel file and updated automatically to the internet via OneDrive in every 30 seconds. In case of any large deviation from the normal condition, an automated alarm system will notify the assigned doctor about the condition of the patient. A medication reminder system is added in our designed android app to notify the patient to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor at proper time. The patient can also call the nurse in case of emergency and there is also scope for the patient to control the position of the bed according to his comfort. The level of saline or blood injected into the vein of the patient can also be monitored in our system to inform the nurse at the time of being finished. © 2020 IEEE.
