Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) can be employed in various applications like agriculture, disaster relief operations, smart and connected health care, this paper presents a healthcare system using IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) which can help doctors to monitor patient’s health from anywhere. IMS is the key idea of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and integrated network of telecommunications that utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) for packet communications. Event-based Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) architecture is the best solution for IMS-based systems. SIP protocol is used to communicate with IMS core and data is transmitted inside SIP messages. In this manner, there is no requirement for extra transport protocol. The proposed system can generate automatic alerts by sending calls and messages to various stakeholders like healthcare organization, family members, etc. in emergency situations. IMS client has been implemented using Nubomedia IMS connector which is customized to read and interpret data. The existing IMS clients like UCT and Boghe can’t read different files thereby prohibiting various forms of analysis and data manipulation. A rule-based interpretation of data is then done to trigger messages to the doctors if the values observed are above certain threshold. The developed system can be useful for monitoring patient’s health by collecting health data through smart watches, apps and sensors. The designed IMS platform can be extended to contribute in numerous fields like disaster management, healthcare system, emergency ambulance call setup by reading live data streams, monitoring and issuing notifications.
