IRHMP: IoT-Based Remote Health Monitoring and Prescriber System

ABSTRACT

The Novel Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), which created this pandemic, makes us realize the importance of universal social and health care systems. The frontline workers worked restlessly during the pandemic and few of them also lost their lives. There is a need for a remote IoT health monitoring system that takes care of the health of infected patients, conducts regular health checks, and reduces contact between an infected person and health workers. This especially helps the patients with mild symptoms who are home quarantined. The IoT system monitors a person 24/7 and a report can be generated and sent to the doctor at the same time. However, such a procedure will produce a large amount of data. A major research challenge addressed in this paper is to effectively transfer health care data with the help of existing network infrastructure and transfer it to the cloud. In this paper, we have identified the key network and infrastructure requirements for a standard health monitoring system based on real-time event updates, bandwidth requirements, data collection, and data analysis. After that, we propose IRHMP- IoT-based remote healthcare device that delivers health care data efficiently to the cloud and the web portal. Finally, we have proposed a machine-learning algorithm to provide and predict future health risks with the help of recorded data. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
