A Survey of Acceptability and Use of IoT for Patient Monitoring

It’s absurd for a clinical master to monitor a patient’s pulse and body temperature all the time from a remote location using standard monitoring equipment. As a solution to this problem, we may develop an Internet of Things-based framework that makes use of a microcontroller and a user-friendly temperature sensor known as the DS18B20 (which is a kind of temperature sensor that provides 9-bit to 12-bit measurements of temperature). An emerging concept of a linked e-health system that includes Personal Health Devices has emerged due to recent advances in consumer electronics and rising healthcare expenditures. It was found that incorporating ICT into the healthcare sector may help maximize the availability of all medical resources while also providing dependable, efficient care for the elderly and those with physical impairments or long-term sickness. This article sheds some insight on the currently available methods for Internet of Things-based healthcare applications. An IoT-based healthcare system using Pattern Matching Algorithm is presented which gathers patient data from different sensors and sends messages alerting the caregiver and doctor in real time. It keeps track of the patient’s physiological characteristics from a distance and makes early diagnoses of illness. Using a Wireless Body Area Network, this may be integrated into a wearable alert system. The suggested solution’s network overhead and appropriateness for various settings are discussed, including how different wireless interfaces integrate with a cloud service.
