Performance Evaluation of Smart Healthcare Monitoring System Using Li-Fi Technology

In the Intensive care unit (ICU) environments, patients require a continuous healthcare monitoring system to monitor their vital signs. In this paper, a new design and implementation of a smart healthcare system are described using the emerging technologies of Li-Fi and IoT. The heartbeat rate and temperature of the patient are transmitted via Li-Fi technology and then to the central nurse station. This data is uploaded to the ThingSpeak platform cloud so that the doctor can view it anywhere. This system is also provided by sending email notifications in abnormal cases. The results are divided into two parts. The first part is related to the Li-Fi technology. The system is tested for different channel statuses and ambient noise. The second part is the results of the IoT, where the results are presented on the ThinkSpeak platform and notification by Email in critical cases. The system is successfully tested on Imam Al-Sadiq Hospital-Babylon city patients. The obtained results are approved and satisfactory.
