IoT based real time patient monitoring and analysis using Raspberry Pi 3

As global ageing and chronic diseases are increasing day by day, the diagnosis from hospital centric to home centric is needed. The idea presented here is a real time remote patient monitoring and analysis using Raspberry Pi 3. Raspberry Pi is credit card sized single board computer with ARM11 microprocessor with LINUX based operating system. Python is used as the programming language in Raspberry Pi, which is an open source programming language. The presented system involves sensors to acquire the biological parameters from the patient's body and transmit it wirelessly to the website that can be accessed by any medical expert across the world for diagnosis. This parameters are stored in the MySql database and the acquired parameters is processed in Pi and trigger a message if there is any abnormality in the parameters. In the previous methods, Zigbee, Bluetooth modules are used for transmission. But they are restricted by the short range of communication. The presented system reduces man power and cost.
