August 19, 2019

Abstract

The concept of IOT depicts a network of electronics System that is connected with an Internet platform for the manipulation of real-time data. The user can get the real-time data of a security system, home automation system, Sensor networks to their smartphone as in the form of notification, this is only possible with the implementation of Internet of Things (IOT). Likewise, in the field of the medical treatment process, we can employ an IOT system in the form of a wearable device on a patient body to measure the real-time data related to heart rate and body temperature. The adaptation of this system in the medical field will definitely revolutionize in the field of medical treatment and diagnosis. Through this technique, a doctor can monitor all the patients at a time by visualizing the real-time data that is transmitted from the patient body regarding their health issue. This information can also be possible to access from the remote location through an IOT platform. With the implementation of this system, a medical nurse will able to get the relief to observe all the patients at a particular interval of time.  Due to having this system, all the real-time data associated with a particular patient will be displayed in a monitor with the graphical representation that will help to further analyze the patient health condition.
