Development of physiological parameters gateway for medical IOT ward

Abstract

Internet of things (IOT) gateway is an important part in all kinds of IOT applications within healthcare Industry. To meet with the needs from wireless transfer and management of physiological parameters in hospital, a kind of IOT gateway for physiological parameters service is designed. Carrier sensing technology, automatic networking technology, and multi-thread programming technology are adopted to design and manufacture the gateway. A hardware gateway and a physiological parameters gateway server with functions of protocol translation, routing management, and data security control are designed to deal with different needs of the sensor network in the Medical IOT Ward. The physiological parameters gateway, which is the key application device in medical IOT ward, is designed to fulfil intelligent collection and comprehensive convergence of daily physiological parameters. The medical IOT ward simplifies the work of physiological parameters collection which is used to be finished manually, and provides reliable security assurance for the patients’ daily care. It will has high value in clinical application.
