Smart Patient Monitoring Module Using Intelligent Technologies-Supported Wireless Application

Proposed Architecture

The study focuses at creating an IoT gateway backed WSN architecture for healthcare monitoring application and it is depicted in Figure 1. The intended users are, elderly persons living alone at home and hospitalized patients. The physiological signs to be watched include body temperature, heart rate and saturation oxygen (SpO2) level (Ravikumar et al., 2023). The postural activity monitoring is carried out by obtaining data from 3-axis accelerometer. The IoT gateway functions as a bridge device that facilitates data flow between WSN and Internet server (Kanna et al., 2019).

The IoT architecture is adequately supported with an Internet server via which each patient’s location information along with physiological and postural activity data are to be tracked, continually (Waleed et al., 2023). The interactive graphical user interface enabled dynamic Internet server is also supplied to take control signals from the user to alter configuration modes of smart band in order to optimize battery power efficiency. The smart band encrypts the captured signals before transferring them to the server. The Internet server is set to decrypt the data and finally it reconstructs the original signals (Roy & Sadiwala, 2024).
