Abstract
Health monitoring systems in hospitals, clinics, and many other health centers have experienced a significant amount of growth in the recent times. In this current pandemic situation, a lot of people are suffering from COVID-19, lungs disease, chronic disease, and various kinds of common flu, etc. The health of COVID and other common flu affected people as well as elderly people needs continuous and regular monitoring in order to avoid any disastrous situation. It is quite difficult task for health professionals or the patients to be present in person for continuous health monitoring. In this paper, we designed and implemented an IoT-based smart health monitoring system for patients, especially, the elderly, COVID-affected people and patients with chronic diseases. This healthcare monitoring system monitors the body temperature, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG) and uploads the real-time data to an open source Mosquitto (MQTT) server via Wi-Fi or a GSM modem for remote monitoring which can be accessed via a website or a mobile application. This low-cost and efficient device will help both the patient and the health professional in monitoring and diagnose of various kinds of health problems. An emergency alert system has been implemented into the system which will send text message alert to the health expert and the patient itself in case of abnormality in health data. Furthermore, health data analyzing system will help the medical professional in determining the critical patients who need special attention.
