Life-Line: Real-Time Patient Health Monitoring System

Abstract: The system's main purpose is to monitor basic health parameters like heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen: SpO2, and blood pressure on a continuous basis. It aims to build a cost-effective health monitoring system for individuals in remote areas which do not have access to specialist doctors. The System is portable and can be operated by a lay-man with minimal training. This is achieved through wearable sensors and IoT technologies that collect data, transmit it, and facilitate real-time processing via a cloud platform. The Users have access to a mobile or web interface where they receive real-time updates and are able to monitor their health at any given time. The system is also useful for healthcare professionals because they are provided with remote access to patient data which allows for continuous observation and timely interventions. With the integration of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GSM, seamless data transfer is guaranteed, in addition to expandable cloud storage that supports scalable data analysis for supplemental security. Apart from real-time monitoring, the system also employs predictive data analytics and machine learning algorithms to identify irregularities that may indicate risk of potential health issues. When abnormal patterns are detected, the system allows for automated alerts and notifications to be sent which enable proactive response to such situations.
