IoT-Based Humidity Sensing and Control in Smart Hospitals k-Nearest Neighbors for Infection Control and Patient Comfort

A novel method for monitoring and controlling humidity levels in smart hospital settings by means of the Internet of Things (IoT). To maximize patient comfort and infection control measures, IoT device connection allows for real-time humidity level monitoring and modification. Improving the system's responsiveness to humidity data is possible with the use of the k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. Machine learning (ML) method, the system can forecast the ideal relative humidity from past data and present weather. A major factor in preventing the spread of infectious diseases in healthcare facilities is keeping the relative humidity at an optimal level. The general health and success of the healing process depend on the patient's level of comfort. The proposed IoT system for smart hospital humidity management considers medical and patient needs. The system's capacity to dynamically adjust humidity levels based on data improves infection control and patient satisfaction.
