CONTINUOUS HEALTH MONITORING USING IOT: DEVELOPMENT OF AMBULATORY DEVICES

Everything in life today is advancing with the internet, and healthcare is not left behind. The latest advancement in internet is the Internet of Things (IoT), and most health researchers would say it is found most valuable in the healthcare industry. This work aims to review the internet of things to the ambulatory aspect of the healthcare industry for the continuous monitoring and onward transmission of physiological parameters of the heart rate, and temperature of ambulatory patients, and sending the values through a Wi-Fi module, to the cloud based server, where it is stored and can be accessed anytime by the physician and patients, by logging in their details to the online application.
