Foot ulcer and acute respiratory distress detection system for diabetic patients

Abstract

Health care and wellness management for a diabetic are one of the most promising information technology in the field of medical science. A healthcare monitoring system is necessary to constantly monitor diabetic patients’ physiological parameters. Hence the major scope of this proposed project work is to develop a smart health monitoring system that overcomes many complications in diabetic patients by periodically monitoring patients’ heartbeat rate, SPO2 (Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation) level, foot pressures, etc. Therefore, the IoT concept is used and sensors are connected to the human body with a well-managed wireless network that periodically monitors the physiological parameters of the body to avoid high risks in diabetic patients. Continuous health monitoring remotely works because of the integration of all components with wearable sensors and implantable body sensors networks that will increase the detection of emergency conditions at risk. Also, the proposed system is useful to operate remotely because of inbuilt Wi-Fi in the system.
