Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the heart of intelligent healthcare, which is very useful because the accessibility of the internet is worldwide. This chapter begins by explaining the difference between Vital Signs Early Detection (VSED) and Physical Signs Early Detection (PSED), and it shows the relationship between VSED and PSED. This chapter concludes by outlining measuring systems of various chronic disease parameters using the latest technology – the IoT and ThingSpeak. This chapter aimed to develop a low cost system which will be easily connected with any kind of digital medical sensor and remotely provide the measured readings to medical professionals globally, thereby assisting with the early detection of chronic diseases. The various parameters are blood pressure, which is measured according to systolic and diastolic parameters, pulse rate and body temperature. The measuring system is very simple; it is plugged in and sends the measured parameter reading to the cloud, and it is accessible to the recipient who has the ID and password. Medical professionals will obtain the reading and analyse it properly, and on the basis of that analysis decide whether the patient requires hospitalization. This chapter outlines a new way to observe patients and their needs within the comfort of their own homes, and it indicates ways to predict chronic diseases on the basis of the early warning score (EWS) from the basic parameter readings. To obtain the EWS, readings are compared with the previous patient data and changes are used to calculate the EWS.
