Abstract
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and medical devices in healthcare is termed the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This advancement holds promise for numerous applications aimed at mitigating the risk of loss of life through physiological signal monitoring. As the number of road accidents is rapidly increasing, a substantial number of car crashes occur due to medical conditions. Therefore, the need remains to develop an effective solution to enable the prevention of such accidents for enhanced road safety. Unlike existing approaches, this paper proposes a holistic IoMT-based non-invasive driver health monitoring system (DHMS) to monitor important vital signs for detecting abnormal health conditions. The proposed system consists of an embedded system, edge computing, cloud computing, and a mobile application with an alert system, to offer an end-to-end unified solution for driver physiological signal monitoring to detect abnormal health conditions that might lead to a road accident. The system is particularly suited to aid (elderly) people with medical conditions and can also be used for public transport to ensure passenger safety. A detailed experimental evaluation of the proposed system has been performed and its performance accuracy compared with standard medical devices, along with quality factors including usability, portability, and effective sensor placement.
