Healthcare Monitoring System Based on IoT Using AMQP Protocol

Abstract

Healthcare monitoring system is introduced to reduce the daily visit of patients to the hospital. The patients can collect their vital parameters and send those measured values to the doctor or hospital. Healthcare monitoring system introduces the real-time monitoring of vital parameters of the patients such as collecting all the information from the patients and sending it to the web server. The authorized person can log into his account and see the patients’ vital parameters. These vital data can be stored and analyzed for further decision-making and analysis. By identifying the pattern of the vital parameters which is observed, the nature of the disease can be predicted. The system collects patient’s body temperature, oxygen saturation percentage, heart rate, blood glucose, and blood pressure using Raspberry Pi board and cloud computing. The communication protocol used in the system is AMQP protocol. It supports reliable communication via message delivery guarantee primitives including at-most-once, at-least-once, and exactly once delivery. The collected data from various patients could not be handled easily by the physician. The main concern of the physician is that he should take the critical decisions about their patient’s health from this huge volume of health information. The huge amount of information can be stored in cloud and the data can be analyzed using data mining.
