Monitoring Health Care System Using Internet of Things - An Immaculate Pairing

IoT in health care is aimed at empowering people to live healthier life by wearing connected devices. Health care industry has perpetually been on the forefront in the adoption and utilization of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the efficient health care administration. Recent developments in wireless sensors, communication and information network technologies have created a new era of the Internet of things (IoT)[1]. Connected health care is very important application of the Internet of Things. The concept of connected health care system and smart medical devices bears enormous potential not just for companies, but also for the well-being of people in general. Hospitalized patients whose physiological status requires close attention can be constantly monitored using IoT-driven monitoring. This type of solution employs sensors to collect comprehensive physiological information and uses gateways and the cloud to analyze and store the information and then send the analyzed data wirelessly for further analysis and review. It replaces the process of having a health professional come by at regular intervals to check the patient's vital signs, instead providing a continuous automated flow of information. The main aim of this work is to give a comprehensive overview of this area of research and sensors used in health monitoring device, how the wearable health monitoring devices works, capture the data and generate report based on different parameters.
