Abstract

As people age, their body tissues and organs begin to fail. This causes a number of diseases that can quickly destroy a person’s life. Thus, as long as they are alive, daily or weekly monitoring of the physiological body is an issue. To do this physically by visiting a hospital can be very difficult. IoT and smartphone-based systems are one subset of new technologies that focus on shifting in-hospital treatment to out-hospital treatment, therefore avoiding having to go to hospital to know his/her health status physically. The system collects real-time data from the patient’s body without burdening their daily activities. The practical implementation of the system is improved by taking five patients as a sample, and data acquired from each sensor is analysed by calculating the error rate. The advancement of information communication and technologies in mobile technology not only provides a calling service but provide services in health monitoring activities. This paper describes how advanced smartphones and wearable sensors play important functions in remote health monitoring. Wearable sensors can obtain data from the patient’s body, while smartphones can obtain the patient’s parameters (data) from wearable sensors through Bluetooth communication technology, and then send the data to a database (Cloud) through a wide area network (WLAN) technology for future access.
