Arduino and IOT based patient health monitoring system project

Project Cost: 9,700

Project Code: 5115

Description of the project:

In IOT based patient health monitoring system project, we are monitoring various parameters of the patient using the internet of things. In the patient monitoring system based on the Internet of things project, the real-time parameters of a patient’s health are sent to the cloud using Internet connectivity. These parameters are sent to a remote Internet location so that users can view these details from anywhere in the world.

There is a major difference between SMS based patient health monitoring and IOT based patient monitoring system. In the IOT based system, details of the patient’s health can be seen by many users. The reason behind this is that the data needs to be monitored by visiting a website or URL. Whereas, in GSM based patient monitoring, the health parameters are sent using GSM via SMS.

This is one of the Latest Electronics Project Ideas related to Medical applications which engineering students can select as their final year project. One more benefit of using IOT is that, this data can be seen using a desktop computer, laptop, using Android smartphone comma using a tab or Tablet. The user just needs a working Internet connection to view this data. There are various cloud service providers that can be used to view this data over the Internet. Things speak, Sparkfun and IOTGeek are a few famous and easy-to-use service providers among these.

Working of IOT based patient health monitoring system:

IOT patient monitoring has 3 sensors. The first one is a temperature sensor, the second is the Heartbeat sensor and the third one is a humidity sensor. This project is very useful since the doctor can monitor patient health parameters just by visiting a 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’s health through Android apps.

To operate an IOT based health monitoring system project, you need a WiFi connection. The microcontroller or the Arduino board connects to the Wi-Fi network using a Wi-Fi module. This project will not work without a working WiFi network. You can create a WiFi zone using a WiFi module or even a WiFi zone using Hotspot on your smartphone. The Arduino UNO board continuously reads input from these 3 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 specific interval of time. For example in this project, we have sent data after every 30 seconds.

IOT Applications and Applications of IOT based patient health monitoring system project

This is an important sensor based project which has the latest technology implemented in it. And it has many applications & advantages as mentioned below.

1) IOT Healthcare is the most demanding field in the medical area. This project is for, elderly people in our home. Also for the senior citizen living alone or living with 1 or 2 members. This project really proves helpful when family members need to go out for some emergency work.

2) Disable patients can use this project. Disable patients who find it really difficult to go to doctors on a daily basis or for those patients who need continuous monitoring from the doctor.

Advantage of IOT based patient health monitoring system project

1) IOT Monitoring proves really helpful when we need to monitor & record and keep track of changes in the health parameters of the patient over a period of time. So with the IOT health monitoring, we can have a database of these changes in the health parameters. Doctors can take the reference of these changes or the history of the patient while suggesting the treatment or the medicines to the patient.

2) Hospital stays are minimized due to Remote Patient Monitoring.

3) Hospital visits for normal routine checkups are Minimized.

4) Patient health parameter data is stored in the cloud. So it is more beneficial than maintaining the records on printed papers kept in the files. Or even the digital records are kept in a particular computer or laptop or memory device like a pen- drive. Because there are chances that these devices can get corrupted and data might be lost. Whereas, in the case of IOT, cloud storage is more reliable and does have minimal chances of data loss.

Future development:

We can add a GPS module in IOT patient monitoring using the Arduino Uno and the WiFi 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 which 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.
