Intelligent IoT Platform for Real-Time Monitoring of Indoor Air Quality in Healthcare Facilities

In recent years, people have been confronted with unprecedented emerging infectious diseases. Medical institutions typically manage high-risk infectious diseases, which are transmitted via droplets or airborne routes, by using negative pressure isolation rooms to house patients and provide medical care. These isolation areas and rooms are specially designed to effectively prevent the spread of pathogens, with the goal of protecting healthcare personnel and preventing large-scale hospital-acquired infections.As most medical institutions have already completed the installation of hardware, wired network construction is not ideal for hospital environments, as it would require modifications to existing infrastructure, indirectly affecting the quality of the hospital environment, such as noise from construction and the layout of piping systems. Therefore, this study proposes an "Intelligent IoT Platform for Real-Time Monitoring of Indoor Air Quality in Healthcare Institutions." The system leverages smart sensors integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), utilizing the small size and ease of deployment of the sensors as part of the overall technical framework. The platform also incorporates health and safety indicators relevant to hospital hygiene, enabling the monitoring of various environmental factors to ensure the safety of healthcare personnel.
