A Novel Framework of Health Monitoring Systems

2. State Of Art

In this era of Technology Internet of Things or popularly also known as IoT along with Cloud Computing play a very important role in monitoring the health condition of a person using various kinds of data collected using body sensors fitted in different types of wearable devices. It mainly uses Raspberry Pi board for this purpose. The collected data is processed using various machine learning algorithms and hence processed data is used to detect diseases and preventions that need to be taken. This data is then sent to the patients as well as concerned people and doctors to take recommended actions for precautionary purposes. As this data is kept on the cloud it can also be accessed anywhere and anytime around the world. It is very suitable in areas where medical facilities are not easily available, areas like villages or rough terrains. Body wireless sensor Network (BWSN) is used to transmit the patients’ health parameters collected through Raspberry Pi microcontroller to the physicians and caretaker wirelessly. As we know that these devices are long ranged due to high bandwidths it is really easy and efficient to detect the patient’s location in case of any emergency and timely intervention of responsible people, the server also rings alarm to nearby ambulance while itself performing various basic health care check-ups by continuously monitoring various body parameters and reporting the respective data. Use of smart devices increases the data accuracy and data protection on various parameters. The historical data uploaded on the cloud can also be used to perform various tests and at times infer data from family history’s data or the health history of the patient himself.

Universal Health care concern and its solution has become crucial nowadays as it is necessary to pay attention to awareness on Healthcare. Mobile devices are available to us nowadays very easily. These devices help to collect data from the wearables and analyse it under a wireless sensor network. This reduces complications regarding location problems etc. We can also make use of Barcode Reader to verify and aid our patients.

With the increased advancement of the sensors and wearables, it makes the health control and management system more powerful in remote areas. Now this needs to be secure. Our system designs are planted upon the WSN which is Wireless Sensor Networks. These systems have reduced the cost as the doctors can analyse the patient’s health without actually visiting them for small health issues by collecting his data and sending the instructions to get cured.

An android app has been created for healthcare authority called ECG App, which provides the client with the Electro Cardiogram Waves and his/her data. This data gets uploaded to the cloud of the client which can be further analysed by the patients and doctors. This system is helpful for all whether they are at the hospital or at their home.
