Health monitoring systems: An overview of E-Healthcare.

Abstract

Healthcare is given extreme importance nowadays by each country especially in post covid times as non-covid patients can’t go for check-ups regularly to hospitals during lockdowns. And also, they have a high risk of getting contacted with the coronavirus. So, in this aspect, an IoT based remote health monitoring system is the best solution for such an epidemic    . Hence in this paper, an attempt is made to discuss and compare the various available health monitoring systems concerning their complexity, user experience, applications, cost and simplicity. And a possible novel health monitoring system method is proposed based on its applicability and user-friendly approach. This proposed idea will assist doctors in knowing the state of a patient's health and monitoring it from anywhere in the world, as the sensors gather medical information such as the patient's temperature, heart rate, and SpO2. The data is then transmitted to the Internet and saved on Google Firebase. The doctor can access the patient data from anywhere in the world by using the provided web page. If the sensor value exceeds the threshold data, an emergency alert is generated and sent to the doctor.. Thus, the patients’ health parameters are monitored regularly automatically without the help of medical/manual staff. This will allow doctors to make more accurate diagnoses and provide more accurate care. The data collected by the IoT will assist the patient in recovering quickly, and improved medical care can be provided to patients at a low cost due to the ability to predict abnormal situations in advance..
