Among the applications that Internet of Things (IoT) facilitated to the world, Healthcare applications are most important. In general, IoT has been widely used to interconnect the advanced medical resources and to offer smart and effective healthcare services to the people.  The advanced sensors can be either worn or be embedded into the body of the patients, so as to continously monitor their health. The information collected in such manner, can be analzed, aggregated and mined to do the early prediction of diseases.  The processing algorithms assist the physicians for the personalization of treatment and it helps to make the health care economical, at the same time, with improved outcomes. Also, in this paper, we highlight the challenges in the implementation of IoT health monitoring system in real world.

Health is the important key for any living. The monitoring of one’s health is so important in today’s busy world ,that most of the people run out of time when they get to know the disease, which actually is not fatal. Smart Health Monitoring system gives you a track of your health, making your work easier to know the data of your health without running every time to hospital. This paper is a study about Smart health Monitoring system using Internet of things (IOT).Internet of things plays An very prominent role in wide range of healthcare applications and it also serves as a catalyst for the healthcare. Smart devices and wireless sensor networks are used here for the analysis of different health parameters in real-time.

As the technology changing every year so, there has been an attempt to apply the new technology in numerous areas to increase the quality of human life. One of the main fields of research that has seen an implementation of the technology is the healthcare sector. Consequently, our paper is an effort to solve a healthcare problem currently people are facing. Main objective of our paper is to enterprise a remote healthcare system. It covers of three key parts. The first part is, detection of patient’s condition with the proposed system, second is to storing data on cloud storage and the last part is to provide the data for isolated viewing. Remote observing of the data empowers a doctor or custodian to television a patient’s health advancement from anywhere. In this project, we have obtainable an IoT architecture personalized for healthcare applications. The main motive of this scheme is to come up with a Remote Health Monitoring System that will completed with locally available sensors with a view to manufacture it reasonable for everybody

The technological advent in smart sensing devices and the Internet has provided practical solutions in various sectors of networking, public and private sector industries, and government organizations worldwide. This study intends to combine the Internet of Things (IoT) technology with health monitoring to make it personalized and timely through allowing the interconnection between the devices. This work is aimed at exploring various wearable health monitoring modules that people wear to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and physiological information. The information is acquired using the wireless sensor to create a health monitoring system. The data is integrated using the Internet of Things for processing, connecting, and computing to achieve real-time monitoring. The temperature of three people measured by the temperature thermometer is 36.4, 36.7, and 36.5 (°C), respectively, and the average acquired by the monitoring system of the three people is 36.5, 36.4, and 36.5 (°C), respectively, indicating that the system demonstrated relatively accurate and stable testability. The user’s ECG is displayed clearly and conveniently using the ECG acquisition system. The pulse rate of the three people tested by the system is 78, 78, and 79 (times/min), respectively, similar to the medical pulse meter results. The physiological information acquired using the semantic recognition, matching system, and character matching system is relatively accurate. It concludes that the human health monitoring system based on the Internet of Things can provide people with daily health management, instrumental in heightening health service quality and level.

Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare system is now at the top peak because of its potentialities among all other IoT applications. Supporting sensors integrated with IoT healthcare can effectively analyze and gather the patients’ physical health data that has made the IoT based healthcare ubiquitously acceptable. A set of challenges including the continuous presence of the healthcare professionals and staff as well as the proper amenities in remote areas during emergency situations need to be addressed for developing a flexible IoT based healthcare system. Besides that, the human entered data are not as reliable as automated generated data. The development of the IoT based health monitoring system allows a personalized treatment in certain circumstances that helps to reduce the healthcare cost and wastage with a continuous improving outcome. We present an IoT based health monitoring system using the MySignals development shield with (Low power long range) LoRa wireless network system. Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, body temperature sensor, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation sensor have been used with MySignals and LoRa. Evaluating the performances and effectiveness of the sensors and wireless platform devices are also analyzed in this paper by applying physiological data analysis methodology and statistical analysis. MySignals enables the stated sensors to gather physical data. The aim is to transmit the gathered data from MySignals to a personal computer by implementing a wireless system with LoRa. The results show that MySignals is successfully interfaced with the ECG, temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate sensors. The communication with the hyper-terminal program using LoRa has been implemented and an IoT based healthcare system is being developed in MySignals platform with the expected results getting from the sensors.
