Remote Monitoring of Vital Parameters with IoT-Based Sensing System

Abstract

Being the major influential aspect within the lives of the people, health has become an increasing cause of consciousness and concern today. In this paper, a healthcare system has been set up and designed which enables patients to collect daily, the vital parameters at home and sending them over the cloud with the use of IoT i.e. Internet of things. Identification of a set of five parameters—weight, temperature, heart rate, pulse oximetery, and attentiveness of alcohol in breathe, is done by using biomedical sensors which are interfaced with Arduino Uno microcontroller that transmits the recorded data through ESP8266 Wi-Fi module on IoT platform i.e. ThingSpeak. The vital parameters can be visualized and monitored on devices that include desktops, laptops, or smart phones which are connected under similar networks.
