Healthcare Monitoring System of Patients using IoT

This paper aims to propose a healthcare system where it can help and alert the needs of the patients to the doctor or nursing staff of the family. Mostly, Intensive Care Units (ICU) are closely monitored but issues, emergencies, and needs can arise even for a patient in general wards. Similarly, elderly people resting at home as well as people who suffered paralytic attacks their total or partial bodies become unable to move or speak. These people cannot be constantly monitored; thus, this system helps to solve their needs or emergencies on time. This system uses microcontroller technology and the 3-axis accelerometer (ADXL335). The systems of two major circuit sections: Transmitter and Receiver. The accelerometer senses the patient's hand motion/gesture, and the value gets transmitted by the transmitter. The receiver section receives the value and the appropriate custom message for the hand motion is displayed on an LCD at the healthcare worker's place as a well as it can be monitored 24*7 via the internet.
