An Integrated IoT Technology for Health and Traffic Monitoring System with Smart Ambulance

Abstract

Health is always given extreme significance even though the human race is exploiting very advanced technologies. In this regard, IoT based health monitoring system is the recommended solution for various unexpected health emergencies. internet of things (IoT) is said to be a rapid and new revolution in future networking of devices using the internet. Different sensors such as heart beat sensor, echo cardiogram (ECG) sensor, respiratory sensor, temperature sensor, motion sensor, etc., help in collecting and diagnosis of the patient's physical and mental health condition. In case of medical emergencies, the patient should reach the hospital as early as possible. But, if the patient gets stuck in traffic it causes indeed serious problem in their life and this shows the negative effect of traffic jams. Another major issue is the lack of availability of medication inside the ambulance. So, the proposed system solves all these issues smartly by providing a traffic free path to the ambulance designed with all medical equipment. Further unique mobile applications are used to send notifications to the nearest doctor about a patient's current collected data through the sensors via the internet. Even if the traffic light is red and vehicles must stop inside the lane, the ambulance gets prioritized with the green signal to reach the destination without traffic. Another interesting prime section of the proposed method is creating the necessary surroundings accordingly to the patient's well-being on the way to the hospital. Overall, IoT serves as a potential way in healthcare where risks are endless.
