Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for Patient Healthcare Monitoring System

One of the major problems faced by the today's hospital is the lack of effective technique to monitor multiple patients' health condition. In case of a large hospital where multiple patients need to be monitored simultaneously, a separate monitoring system for each patient is ineffective and less user friendly. There is a need for a system or mechanism by which medical staff can monitor the patients' condition at any instant of time and update patients' health. Therefore, IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) - healthcare monitoring system is proposed to develop a system that can monitor multiple patients' health parameters simultaneously and effectively deliver the data to a patient monitoring system to be analyzed and diagnosed. The designed system enables doctors to monitor patients whenever in hospital or for home care. This system consists of temperature sensor and pulse rate sensor for measurement of 2 recognized vital signs. The measured data from the sensors are processed on NodeMCU Board before transmitted and store at a dedicated server for further observation. Web GUI application is designed to display the data and health status of the patients. In addition, this healthcare monitoring also alerts the doctor/nurse if the measured value is abnormal.
