Dsigning system for observation of real-time patients via ICT In Health Institutions of Iraq

ICT is becoming more and more popular in the field of remote control. In the healthcare system, patients are monitored in an intensive care unit after a surgical procedure until they are physically stable, then moved to a room for evaluation and recovery. Usually, ward evaluation does not imply continuous monitoring of physiological parameters, and therefore patient relapse is not uncommon. This paper describes the steps taken to design and build a prototype for a low-cost, modular monitoring system. This system is intended to provide mobile support to facilitate faster and better medical interventions in emergencies and has been developed using dedicated low-power sensor arrays for BPM, SpO2, and temperature, as well as room temperature and humidity. The interfaces for these sensors are developed according to the IoT model: the central console displays a web interface based on a REST API that ensures platform-neutral behavior and provides a flexible mechanism for integrating new components. Finally, this paper also investigates the technologies and systems related to e-health services with a better understanding of monitoring applications based on multiple models and different IoT sensors. Finally, this study contributes to scientific knowledge by identifying the main challenges of the topic and providing possible opportunities in this research area.
