Abstract
Twenty-first century has marked developments in the area of microelectronics, sensors, material science, VLSI, Internet of Things (IoT), and many others which have led to significant developments in the area of agriculture, military, medicine, space, industrial production, and even day-to-day routine activities. Medical technology among all these has seen drastic changes in terms of technology for the patient’s treatment. Intelligent health monitoring systems are regarded as the need of hour for accurate and responsive monitoring of a patient’s health in diverse situations like injured soldiers in battlefield action, pregnant women, heart patients, and cancer patients. Current advancements in biosensor technology have led to the development of various health monitoring systems, but these systems have some limitations in terms of cost, accuracy, and portability. The objective of this paper is to propose an Intelligent IoMT-based health monitoring system, i.e., BioSenHealth 1.0. BioSenHealth 1.0 is working prototype for monitoring real-time vital statistics of patients in terms of body oxygen level, pulse rate/heart rate, and body temperature and sends the live data to doctors via thingspeak.com. The device is fully tested on 50+ live patients in various nursing homes-cum-hospitals, and the accuracy measured is more than 90% as compared to existing health monitoring systems. BioSenHealth 1.0 showed significant improvements in terms of low cost, accuracy, portability, as well as fast response time in real-time operations.
