Intelligent Hospitals based on IOT

Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is the technology appropriate for modern buildings, homes and public infrastructure. The WSN is recognized as one of the technological corner stone of AmI. This paper proposes the design of a WSN based multi-Communication standard network for the intelligent monitoring of the fragile hospital environment. The proposed network includes sensor nodes to monitor air quality, water quality and crowd inflow inside various hospital buildings across the state of J&K. The outcome would be a system composed of ad-hoc sensor nodes providing the hospital administration with adequate non intrusive and intelligent monitoring to improve the quality of hospital hygiene, cleanliness and sanitation. The proposed design integrates WSN with packet switched networks/ web service communication into a knowledge and information service platform. Such a platform can support health administrators/ managers to improve the quality of ambient surroundings of hospitals.
