Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new and evolving concept that provides connectivity to the Internet via sensing devices and embedded systems to achieve intelligent identification and management in a heterogeneous connectivity environment without human–human or human–computer interactions. Current medical developments have essentially moved the patient monitoring devices typically found in a critical care room such as ECG, pulse oximeter, blood pressure, temperature, etc., into a discharged patient’s home, with the nurse’s station being a computing device connected to a broadband communication link. The primary limiting factor is the cost of this collection of devices. Mobile Healthcare, or mHealth, is defined as “mobile computing, medical sensor, and communications technologies for health care”. Our aim is to design a prototype of a wearable comprising of medical sensors, in this case, a pulse sensor, which transmits data to LinkIt One, a proto-typing board for IoT devices, which then sends real time data to a database, from where data is retrieved and used to plot a dynamic graph on an app (Android and iOS). mHealth is required to prevent medication errors from occurring and to increase efficiency and accuracy of existing medical health systems.
