Wireless sensor based healthcare monitoring system using cloud

Abstract

Technology plays vital role in Media, Medical Healthcare Systems, Communications, Home Automation System, etc., Internet of Things is the latest trend used in healthcare monitoring system. IOT devices gather and share information directly with each other and the cloud making it possible to collect, record and analyze data streams faster and more accurately. Healthcare management is one of the most promising applications of Information Technology. In the existing system patient is monitored using bedside monitoring station with wired sensors, which makes the patients to be periodically monitored by doctors/nurses. It is impossible to collect data for wider range and coverage of wireless network is not available. This paper proposes a cooperative approach for an automated Healthcare Monitoring System which uses sensors to measure various parameters of the patient like temperature, pulse and body movement using wireless communications. The patient's status will be recorded and stored on the cloud. This proposed system process the sensor data and provides a real time monitoring information about physiological conditions of a patient to the doctor, so that the Healthcare professionals can monitor and access patient's data from anywhere of the world at any time. It enables personalization of treatment and management.
