An intelligent organ distribution using Internet of Things-driven systems

Organ Transplantation is a lifesaving treatment for many forms of solid organ failure. Timely organ transplantation is one of the most challenging and complex areas of modern medicine. Wireless sensor-based systems, microcontrollers, healthcare-specific gateways and cloud-based servers can contribute a vital role in making a timely transplantation. This can help to increase the utilization of available healthy organs from the pool that are presently going unused. Internet of Things driven systems can help in well-timed transplantation particularly for organs like kidney and liver which has only few hours of preservation time. This paper propose an IoT based organ procurement and distribution system which can bring remarkable improvement in timely procurement, accurate serotyping, and resolving ethical, legal and clinical issues. It also helps to attain a healthy patient graft survival.
