Wearable Web Enabled IoT-Based Health Monitoring Framework

The healthcare industry is one of the domains where the Internet of Things (IoT) has made the global impact. By intelligently integrating applications into medical devices, IoT enables the provision of smart and efficient healthcare facilities. Through such sensors, which can be either surgically placed or worn on the body, patients can be monitored continually using the advanced technologies. Such data collection allows for the analysis, mining, and aggregation of information to facilitate early disease prediction. Sophisticated remote health monitoring systems have been developed due to the availability of cheap smart phones and wearable sensors. Even if doctors/pharmacists are unavailable, such health monitoring IoT solutions can be helpful in disease prevention/management and accurate patient diagnosis. In this paper, a novel IoT-based wireless remote health monitoring system for a patient in an indoor environment is presented for monitoring continuous patient vital sign data like temperature and pulse. The collected data is stored on an IoT platform so that only the authorised person can obtain the data. This makes it possible for the doctors to diagnose conditions from the information that has been collected, and this improves the chances of offering effective care at the right time.
