III. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

Health stands as a cornerstone of human well-being, yet global health challenges persist due to various factors such as inadequate healthcare services and significant disparities between rural and urban regions. The shortage of medical professionals exacerbates the situation, particularly during critical times.

The healthcare sector has swiftly embraced the Internet of Things (IoT), recognizing its potential to enhance service quality and effectiveness, particularly benefiting the elderly, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those in need of constant monitoring. Despite this, access to medical facilities remains a challenge in many parts of the world, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing routine health check-ups for blood pressure and body temperature.

Lengthy processes and a shortage of healthcare professionals further hinder access to care. This project aims to address these issues by reducing time consumption.

In recent years, IoT applications in healthcare have surged, with smart patient health monitoring systems being touted for their potential to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. With such systems, individuals can conveniently monitor their health parameters and receive real-time reports, enabling early disease detection. Parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure play crucial roles in diagnosing illnesses, and this project provides data on temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen levels, facilitating proactive healthcare management.

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The project envisages IoT as an intelligent heterogeneous network capable of communicating and sharing data over the Internet. In traditional healthcare models prevalent in developing countries, patients are required to visit a medical practitioner or doctor daily, a method viewed as disadvantageous by both patients and medical staff. To address this, the project aims to develop an IoT-based health monitoring system equipped with specific sensors capable of monitoring various health parameters in real-time. These sensors are attached to the patient's body, and the collected health data is displayed on an LCD module.

Patient health data is securely transferred to the cloud for storage and updated for the prescribing doctor's review and treatment. The development of a yacht-based digital hospital healthcare device using various sensors such as a blood oxygen sensor, NodeMCU, pulse rate sensor, ECG sensor, Arduino Uno, and temperature sensor is described in this paper. IoT-based systems have the potential to enhance medical care and reduce patient costs by automating continuous data collection and analysis.

The microcontroller measures body temperature, pulse rate, ambient temperature, and oxygen saturation. The prototype of the sensor-based health monitoring system displays the output values of the sensors on an LCD, making them visible to patients. Authorized users can access this data from the cloud platform. The patient's health status is diagnosed based on the received values, and a medical professional makes the diagnosis. The doctor can then recommend the appropriate action and prescribe medications remotely.
