Iot Based Icu Patient Monitoring System

Abstract

The current healthcare environment has been left with a very strong effect of implementing the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology which has become very central in improving customer care as well as monitoring. In this paper, the researcher develops a new IoT-based ICU Patient Monitoring System that can monitor key physiological parameters, such as temperature, body humidity, pulse rate and blood pressure in real-time fashion. Arduino microcontrollers are used to obtain in situ data and pre-process data computationally whereas thing-speak cloud-based platform acts to obtain central data storage and further processing. ThingSpeak advanced analytics facilities allow healthcare professionals to visualize and question the real-time data concerning the patients. Moreover, there are customizable alerts and messaging that is used to warn the medical staff about abnormalities or dangerous fluctuations in the proper physiological values. The system will have a user-based interface where the service can be accessed through web or mobile and hence enable the tracking effectively remotely and also increasing the efficiency of delivering care.
