REAL-TIME IoT-BASED PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract : The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized healthcare by establishing real time and remote monitoring systems, thereby significantly enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Traditional monitoring systems, however, focus on basic parameters such as heart rate and body temperature, which can only provide minimal functionality. This work proposes an advanced IoT-enabled solution that makes use of sensors to monitor a variety of health parameters, such as glucose and lactate levels. The system gives real time alerts to ensure timely interventions in critical areas, such as intensive care unit, ICU. The aim should be to optimize patient treatment while using IoT technology such that it does not burden much the healthcare staff but remote monitoring is effective. Of especial importance, this idea can be used in healthcare in rural setups and other settings where pandemics and flu season have rendered traditional monitor setups impractical. The proposed system bridges the gap between patients and providers by providing a scalable and efficient healthcare solution. It ensures better outcomes and streamlined care delivery. Not only does it enhance critical care response times, but it also reduces the need for constant on-site personnel, providing a significant improvement in accessibility, efficiency, and responsiveness in healthcare.
