REMOTE PATIENT HEALTHCARE MONITORING SYSTEM USING ARDUINO AND RASPBERRY PI

Abstract

Now a days continuous patient health monitoring is becoming a key concern for the doctors since it can help them
save patient’s life.So our main objective is to design a patient monitoring system which can monitor various physiological
data of patient who is remotely placed and make available this real time data to the doctor.The data is made available over
the internet so that doctor can access this data from anywhere in the world.Remote patient monitoring reduces the need of
doctor’s visit to the patient.This saves doctor’s time which they can devote to other patient. The advantages of a patient
monitoring system are it can reduce the risk of infection and other complication in order to make the patients comfortable.
Furthermore, implement of patient monitoring in hospitals might reduce the costs in terms of installation and also
maintenance of wiring. In this entire system IOT plays a major role in providing many applications and services and
Raspberry Pi used here is not just a sensor node but also a controller.It is a smart device which can sense, gather and
publish this data over the internet. Paper proposes a generic health monitoring system as a step forward to the progress
made in this department till now
