Medical Remote Monitoring of Multiple Physiological Parameters Based on Wireless Embedded Internet

The advancement and application of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are considered key research areas for improving healthcare quality. Pervasive healthcare monitoring provides rich contextual information to handle the odd conditions of chronically ill patients. Constant monitoring and an early medical response not only increase the life quality of elderly and chronically ill people but also help families and parents by providing high-quality health care to their young babies and paralyzed children. The importance of the WBANs cannot be very promising, as many applications and prototypes are already in progress. For example, some WBANs are dedicated to continuous observation of cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. Another significant advancement in WBANs is the formation of tiny sensors implanted in the human body or integrated into fabric. While the importance of WBANs in healthcare is indubitable, the amount of data generated by these sensors is huge and demands more resources in terms of computation, memory, communication power, massive storage infrastructure, energy-efficient performance for processing, real-time monitoring, and data analysis.

This system will update the health parameter readings of a patient to a third party server where doctor can view if any parameter is about is about to cross its limit. So that he can take an immediate action towards the patient.
