Continuous Blood Pressure Measurement Platform: A Wearable System Based on Multidimensional Perception Data

The healthcare monitoring systems has emerged as one of the most vital system and became technology oriented from the past decade. Humans are facing a problem of unexpected death due to various illness which is because of lack of medical care to the patients at right time. The primary goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system using IoT so that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or at home using an IoT based integrated healthcare system with the view of ensuring patients are cared for better. A mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system was developed which can provide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, i.e., Arduino, and programmed with a software (Arduino IDE). The patient’s blood pressure are monitored, and stored by the system and sent to the doctor’s mobile containing the application. Sensors data uploaded to the Thing speak server through GSM. Thus, IoT based patient monitoring system effectively monitor patient’s health status and save life on time.
