Abstract

Health monitoring for emergency cases and elderly people becomes important as utmost attention is needed on frequent basis. This requires a suitable technology to be developed and deployed wherein certain vital parameters have to be regularly measured and communicated to appropriate authorities on real-time basis.  Currently, for assessment of real-time parameters such as heart-beat, body temperature, fall detection, etc. are not efficiently measured in clinics and hospitals due to imprecise measuring mechanisms. Sometimes it becomes very difficult for hospitals to frequently check the patients conditions. And continuous monitoring of critical patients is not always possible.


 To overcome some of these shortcomings in healthcare systems, this paper proposes an idea of measuring vital body parameters using various wearable sensors and communicated to medical authorities through IoT. The real-time implementation has been demonstrated in the lab wherein the information about vital parameters have been successfully communicated through IoT and GSM module that facilitate the real-time messages to be delivered to respective authorities. This system has great benefits to the people residing in rural areas where there is poor medical infrastructure available.
