 ABSTRACT
In today’s scenario, health care problems are increasing at a very high pace like
coronary heart diseases, obesity, lung failures causing death rate of 7.2 million
people per year hence it is the need of the hour to overcome from all such
problems.
Our health care provides here developed an intelligent and low cost health
monitoring system to provide more comfortable life for people such chronic
diseases using Advanced technology like wireless communications, embedded
computations etc. As a result need for repetitive doctor visits are decreased as
the information reaches from everywhere. Implementation of wireless
communication technologies in monitoring systems is now easier because of its
patient friendly manner.
 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the health care sensors are playing an essential role in
hospitals. The patient health monitoring system is one of the major
developments because of its innovative technology.
An automatic health monitoring system is used to measure patient’s
body temperature ,Humidity, Position and the Heart rate using IOT
technology(INTERNET OF THINGS).
The proposed system uses many sensors like Heart rate sensor or
pulse sensor for pulse rate , Humidity sensor for measuring humidity,
body temperature sensor for measuring body temperature and
Accelerometer for measuring Position.
 WHAT IS IOT?
IOT is the INTERNET OF THINGS.
Internet of things is the network of physical devices, vehicles, and
other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators,
and network connectivity which enables these objects to collect and
exchange data.
The IOT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across
existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct
integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and
resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit in
addition to reduce human intervention.
 COMPONENTS USED
Body Temperature Sensor(DSP8B20)
Humidity Sensor(RHT03/DHT22)
Wi-Fi Module
Accelerometer(Position Sensor)
Arduino uno
Pulse Sensor
 RELATED WORK
 IOT patient monitoring system has 4 sensors. First one is temperature sensor, second is heartbeat
sensor and third position sensor and forth is Humidity sensor. This project is very useful since the
doctor can monitor patient health parameters just by visiting website or URL. And nowadays many
IOT apps are also being developed. So now the doctor or family members can monitor or track the
patient health through the android apps.
 To operate IOT based health monitoring system project. You need a Wi-Fi connection. The arduino
board connects to the Wi-Fi network using a Wi-Fi module. This project will not work without a
working Wi-Fi network you can create a Wi-Fi zone using a Wi-Fi module or you can or you can
even create a Wi-Fi zone using hotspot on your smartphone. The Arduino Uno board continuously
reads input from these 4 senses. Then it sends this data to the cloud by sending this data to a
particular Url/IP address. Then this action of sending data to IP is repeated after a particular
interval of time. For example in this project ,we have sent data after 30 seconds
 The Arduino UNO board continuously reads input from 4 senses. Then it sends this data to the
cloud by sending this data to a repeated articular URL/IP address. Then this action of sending data
to IP is repeated after a particular interval of time. For example in this project, we have sent data
after every 30 seconds.
 ADVANTAGES OF HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM
Hospital Stays are minimized due to Remote patient Monitoring.
Hospital visits for normal routine checkups are minimized.
patient health parameter data is stored over the cloud. So it is more
beneficial than maintaining the records on printed kept in the files. Or
even the digital records which are kept in a particular computer or
laptops or memory device like pen-drive .Because there are chances
that these devices can get corrupt and data might be lost. Whereas,
in case of IOT,the cloud storage is more reliable and does have
minimal chances of data loss.
 APPLICATIONS
In the healthcare IT market, remote patient monitoring devices had
greatly decrease the burden of patients and delivered high quality of
care with lower risk. The most widespread and promising Application
of PATIENT HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM are:-
1. Maintain Diabetes
2. Reduce Risk of Heart Attack
 FUTURE SCOPE
We can add a GPS module in IOT patient monitoring using Arduino
Uno and Wi-Fi module project. This GPS module will find out the
position or the location of the patient using the longitude and latitude
received. Then it will send this location to the cloud that is the IOT
using the Wi-Fi module. Then doctors can find out the position of the
patient in case they have to take some preventive action.
