Trends and Technologies in IOT based Healthcare System- A Survey
Abstract
The objective of Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming healthcare and the role of IT in healthcare. Health is a fundament need and it is human right to get quality healthcare. Nowadays India is facing many health issues because of less resource. The applications of IoT are nowhere essential in transforming lives of people than in healthcare. IoT refers to physical devices, like a weight scale, thermometer and patients’ vital monitoring devices (glucose, blood pressure, heart rate & activity monitoring, etc) connect to the internet and transforms information from the physical world into the digital world. These devices seamlessly gather and share information directly with each other and the cloud, making it possible to collect record and analyze data. This information provides insight in to the health and supplements actions to improve the health, without the hindrance of the daily routine. This paper presents the idea of solving health issues using latest technology, Internet of Things. It proposes few applications of IoT in rural healthcare and ways to improve primary health needs of the developing nations. It presents the smart health care system using Internet of Things which is aimed to provide Quality Health Care to everyone. Using this system, patients’ body parameters can be measure in real time. User can view this data with the help of Android App. If data is abnormal then patient gets notification with the app. Hence, this system provides Quality Health Care to everyone and error free and smooth communication to patients.
