Monitoring of Smart Hospital via IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has large applications in the healthcare field. Increasing concern of public health day to day there is a need to monitor various health parameters on a daily basis, maintaining good health is very important for every human being. This research paper discusses Smart hospitals based on IoT for monitoring various health parameters such as body temperature, level of oxygen in blood, pulse rate and many more important health parameters on a daily basis as well as hospital management. The proposed device is designed with the help of various sensors to measure these parameters remotely with the help of GSM module. These sensors are connected to a microcontroller which transmits data wirelessly via GSM module on the doctor or medical staff smartphone or IP address to which devices are assigned. The output obtained from various sensors are stored in the database to which device is assigned, over a period of time. After successful completion of various parameter measurements, the output results are compared with the threshold for each parameter. If the compared results are not as satisfactory, then a summary with confirmed symptoms is displayed on user mobile. This summary can be uploaded on the cloud for consulting a remote doctor.
