IOT Based Health Monitoring System Using Arduino and Generic ESP8266

Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into healthcare has revolutionized patient monitoring systems This paper presents an IoT-based patient health monitoring system utilizing Arduino and ESP8266 to provide real-time health data and enhance patient care. The system comprises a set of sensors connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which collects vital signs such as heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen levels. The findings indicate that the Arduino and ESP8266-based solution provides a robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform for continuous health monitoring, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and efficient healthcare delivery. The system utilizes wearable devices and sensors to collect data on parameters such as heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure, which are transmitted to a cloud platform for analysis This enables healthcare providers to access patient information remotely, facilitating timely interventions and personalized care By promoting patient engagement through mobile applications, the system empowers individuals to take an active role in managing their health Overall, the IoT-based monitoring system aims to improve health outcomes, reduce the need for frequent hospital visits, and create a more efficient healthcare environment.
