The Conceptualization and Implementation of a Patient Monitoring System Based on the Internet of Things for Use in Telemedicine

As a multifaceted approach to delivering healthcare remotely, telemedicine draws on expertise in areas as diverse as physiology, biomedical instruments, and communications. Telemedicine is the use of electronic networks and other forms of electronic communication to provide healthcare services to people who are geographically separated from one another. This is done so that people can receive accurate and up-to-date information about the causes, symptoms, and treatments of illness and injury, as well as receive ongoing training from healthcare professionals. It's an effective answer to problems including a lack of medical professionals, far-flung communities, and an overwhelming patient population. Testing, monitoring, and treating a patient by a doctor who is not present in the same room are all components of telemedicine. Because of this, getting from one place to another takes less time. Collecting data, putting it in a repository where it can be processed, and then sending it to another location are the pillars upon which telemedicine services are built. Despite its many benefits, telemedicine has yet to reach its full potential in practise. This is largely owing to the prohibitive cost of the specialised equipment required by telemedicine systems. Due to the inability of the doctor to assess the patient's vitals through video chat alone, this method of telemedicine falls short. To counter this, we need a system with precise sensors for monitoring vital signs and other health indicators.
