Abstract

There is an increase in the number of chronic and heart diseases due to work culture etc. The current hospital-centric system is becoming inefficient to treat patients that demand immediate attention and this can efficiently be implemented by using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The aim of this paper is to implement IoT-based health monitoring system which measures temperature, blood pressure, and heartbeat of a patient located remotely and send the data to the doctor for analyzing the condition of the patient. And also an optical light sensor is used to check the light condition in the patient room and based on the sensor value the light will be controlled (ON/OFF). The system is implemented using a BeagleBone Black (BBB) development board. This model saves the work time of the doctors to check the patient’s condition. By using the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), the patient’s data is sent to the cloud through which the doctor can monitor the parameters anywhere in the world using the mobile application or web page.

Keywords: BeagleBone Black; temperature sensor; blood pressure sensor; heartbeat sensor; optical light sensor; GSM module
