Application of IoT Technology in Healthcare: A Case Study of LoRa Technology

In recent years, Taiwan has faced the challenge of an aging society, and long-term care has become a pressing issue. In this study, a long-term care monitoring system was developed using LoRa wireless communication technology, which is remote, low-power, and low-cost. The system automatically performs daily physiological measurements through a portable physiological sensor to reduce the workload of healthcare workers and improve the quality of care. The system automatically performs daily physiological measurements through a portable physiological sensor to reduce the workload of healthcare workers and improve the quality of care. In the future, the system can be combined with cloud servers and related application development to provide a convenient, complete, real-time and low-cost long-term care monitoring system for patients and their families, medical institutions and care providers.
