An IoT based robust healthcare model for continuous health monitoring

Health issues are rising progressively due to the ignorance of health monitoring on regular basis which can now be looked after by the fast growing communication technologies and smart devices. In this paper, a robust healthcare model is proposed for continuous monitoring of the patient even when the patient is traveling. Sensitive data is collected from the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors connected to the patient's body and sent to the server through the smartphone of the patient. The mechanism under discussion in this paper ensures that if the patient's smartphone is malfunctioning then IoT sensors will connect to the optimal peer smartphone available in his vicinity and transmit data without interruption. The data received is then analyzed and reports are generated. In case of emergency, stakeholders are informed.
