Smart Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Monitoring and keeping track of the health status of a patient at home is a difficult task.Especially old age patients should be periodically monitored and their health status needs to be informed to the concerned doctor from time to time so that an immediate required action can be taken.Our aim is to address these challenges.In this paper, we propose a system that puts forward a smart health monitoring system that uses sensors to track patient's health and uses internet to inform their respective doctor or family members in case of any emergency issues.The system is developed for patients who are not in critical condition but need to be periodically monitored by the doctor or any family member.Our system uses temperature as well as heartbeat sensor to keep track of patient health.It mainly focuses on the situation where the doctors and patients are at distant location and it is very important to give the entire details about the patient to the doctor.If the system detects any abrupt changes such as body temperature rises above the given limit or abnormality in the heartbeat, the system automatically alerts the doctor about the patient's status over IOT device.As per tracked by the smart patient health monitoring system, the doctor can take the required action.The information that has been sent to the doctor can be made secure without any interference of the third party through Blockchain technology by making use of smart contract.
