A Mobile Medical Monitoring System: Concept, Design and Deployment

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Remote patient monitoring enables the monitoring of patients’ vital signs outside the conventional clinical settings which may increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs. This paper focuses on implementing internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system. This was achieved by writing two computer applications in java in which one simulates a mobile phone called the Intelligent Personal Digital Assistant (IPDA) which uses a data structure that includes age, smoking habits and alcohol intake to simulate readings for blood pressure, pulse rate and mean arterial pressure continuously every twenty five which it sends to the server. The second java application protects the patients’ medical records as they travel through the networks by employing a symmetric key encryption algorithm which encrypts the patients’ medical records as they are generated and can only be decrypted in the server only by authorized personnel. The result of this research work is the implementation of internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system where patients’ vital signs are generated and transferred to the server continuously without human intervention.

Near Future

Recent advancement in IoT technology made profound changes in life style of people. Ease of access of information through smart phones becomes attractive. Everyone like to access datas through their smart phones. IoT enabled application fulfils this requirements. Researchers focusses on developing the Smart monitoring system using IoT. Since these IoT applications uses existing cellular network for accessing internet. Research says that 50 Billion devices will be willed worldwide in 2020. Providing connectivity to these applications is a challenging task. The existing 4G-LTE network could not support for these much number of devices. Hence an alternative IoT-LoRa network is proposed for these type of application. In this research, a special application in Bio-Medical monitoring System is developed using LoRa Communication. BioMedical Parameters like Weight, Blood Pressure, Heart beat, Body temperature are measured, encrypted using AES to provide security and transmitted using LoRa to monitoring system through Gateway. The developed system satisfies the need for elderly persons suffering from disabilities and reduces the time for the care taker to monitor the data. Also the proposed system is highly secured. Our research says, in near future IoT will play vital role in Bio Medical application and Connectivity, Security will be some of the challenging issues in implementation. Without addressing these problems, Bio-Medical Monitoring System cannot be prognosticated. Finally the potentiality of IoT in Medical field is discussed.
