Abstract

In recent years, the development of internet of things (IoT)-enabled solutions has made impressive progress, spurring the emergence of new and compelling applications. Among them, NFC (near field communication), WSN (wireless sensor network), image processing, and intelligent mobile technology mainly lead this evolution trend. Ubiquitous healthcare is gaining popularity with the proliferation of the internet of things (IoT), which can help patients stay healthy anytime, anywhere. Send medical assistance quickly in medical emergencies. Although not yet standardized, the healthcare internet of things (H-IoT) is a research direction that has attracted the attention of both academia and industrial research communities. Especially with the rapid adoption of wearable devices and smartphones, IoT-assisted technologies are evolving healthcare from a traditional hub-based system to a more personalized healthcare system (PHS).

Introduction

Breakdowns and device malfunctions are frequent since doctors and nursing personnel handle the majority of medical treatment. In India, patients and carers are observed manually. Many technical and non-technical problems result from this. Not all data can be supplied in paper form, and the data given can be inaccurate. Modern digitalization has fundamentally altered how people live. The healthcare system is transformed into a smart healthcare system via digitalization. This enables us to solve nurse staff shortages and real-time monitor patient health (Ashokkumar et al., 2020). The major reasons for creating intelligent healthcare systems are to provide patients with care and accurate diagnoses, as well as to make healthcare services affordable and efficient. (1) As a result, the goal of this project is to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart medical system for continuously monitoring patient physiological data and ambient variables (Kavitha et al., 2018). Among the most promising technologies for smart medical systems include smartphones, wireless sensor networks (WSN), motion-sensing imaging, near-field communication (NFC), and wireless sensor networks (WSN).

It aspires to develop and deploy omnipresent, personalized, and smart healthcare systems (PPHSS). Although PPHSS's primary purposes differ, it is simple to mix complementing technologies to achieve additional capabilities (Ashokkumar et al., 2021). At this point, a sophisticated monitoring program should examine the incoming data and provide an emergency alert. The proposed PPHSS functions in accordance with Figure 1 design. It has four primary components, as seen in Figure 1. In order to create an HSN (hybrid sensor network) for use in monitoring patient physiological data, a microcontroller incorporates a real-time sensor system (Nagarajan et al., 2021). (2) An emergency-only Bluetooth control response and alarm system. (3) SOAP (Simple Object Access) physician and carer device user mobile device application terms for the display of health parameters on NFC-enabled devices. Figure 1 depicts a server PC used to store the master database in the cloud. Moreover, the server PC offers online patient registration.
