An IoT based patient monitoring system using raspberry Pi

In the recent development of, Internet of Things (IoT) makes all objects interconnected and it has been recognized as the next technical revolution. Some of the applications of Internet of Things are smart parking, smart home, smart city, smart environment, industrial places, agriculture fields and health monitoring process. One such application is in healthcare to monitor the patient health status Internet of Things makes medical equipments more efficient by allowing real time monitoring of patient health, in which sensor acquire data of patient's and reduces the human error. In Internet of Things patient's parameters get transmitted through medical devices via a gateway, where it is stored and analyzed. The significant challenges in the implementation of Internet of Things for healthcare applications is monitoring all patient's from various places. Thus Internet o Things in the medical field brings out the solution for effective patient monitoring at reduced cost and also reduces the trade-off between patient outcome and disease management. In this paper discuss about, monitoring patient's body temperature, respiration rate, heart beat and body movement using Raspberry Pi board.
