Human vital physiological parameters (HVPP) monitoring with embedded sensors integration has improved the smart system technology in this era of a ubiquitous platform. Several IoT-based healthcare applications have been proposed for remote health monitoring. Most of the devices developed require one on one contact with doctors before any medical diagnosis is undertaken. Thereby, make it difficult for frequent visitation to the health center. In this paper, embedded heartbeat and temperature sensors for remote monitoring have been developed using Arduino lily as the system controller and processing unit. The Bluetooth low power enables with Android mobile apps is used for remote monitoring and communication of HVPP in a real time. This gives medical personnel and individual customers opportunity of monitoring their vital physiological parameters such as heartbeat rate and body temperature. However, it moderates sudden attack of chronic ailment like hypertension and reduces congestion of patient in the hospitals.

Introduction. There is currently a great number of mobile apps and devices for remote monitoring of biometric indicators used by patents and healthy people. Aim. The purpose of the paper is to review principles and methods of patient motivation for active using of mobile apps and devices for health state estimation. Matireals and methods. We conducted the analysis of 66 scientific sources for the last 5 years, 32 sources related to this theme were selected. We also used our experience of 250 000 remote consultations of urological patients. Results. Physicians should actively involve patients in care of their health – explain advantages of using mobile apps which allow to monitor health state and its changings in real time. Thus it will allow to react to emerging disfunctions, to correct them and to prevent complications or fatal outcome. In spite of evident prospectivity of remote health monitoring we can highlight several difficulties and risks, connected with it, such as low physicians’ motivation, increasing of their labor costs, safe personal and medical data storage, inaccurate and excessive data, difficulties of systematization, slow decrease of patients adherence to using mobile apps. Conclusions. The application of devices and apps for remote monitoring of health indicators is greatly promising as a source of secondary diagnostic information. Further research for clarification of remote technologies influence on clinical outcome is required. Long work for enlightenment and promoting patients’ and physicians’ interest is to be done before telemonitoring devices will occupy a niche in the healthcare system.

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

Moving from the experience gained in home telemonitoring of elderly patients with Congestive Heart Failure, that confirmed a reduction of the rehospitalization rate and an improved monitoring of drugs assumption by the patients, this paper extends the evaluation of technological approaches for remote health monitoring of older adults. Focus of the evaluation is on telemedicine effectiveness and usability, either from a patient’s or a medical operator’s perspective. The evaluation has been performed by testing three remote health platforms designed according to different technological approaches, in a realistic scenario involving older adults and medical operators (doctors and nurses). The aim of the testing activity was not to benchmark a specific solution with respect to the others, but to evaluate the main positive and negative issues related to the system and service design philosophy each solution was built upon. Though preliminary, the results discussed in the paper can be used as a set of guidelines in the selection of proper technological equipments for services targeted to elderly users, from a usability perspective. These results need to be complemented with more focused discussions of the ethical, medical, and legal aspects of the use of technology in remote healthcare.

The objective of our work is to develop a novel self-powered multi-modal wireless health monitoring sensory system architecture consisting of: (i) wearable devices to continuously monitor the vital signs of a person, and (ii) environmental sensory devices which can monitor the environment and also act as multi-hop routers providing data paths from the wearable devices to a main processing unit. Together these devices can provide effective remote health monitoring of a person and also inform the person of important information. In this paper, we address the significant issue of energy depletion for the devices, which can lead to critical interruptions in monitoring, by proposing a flexible unique vibration-based energy harvesting scheme to support our architecture. This active energy harvesting scheme will allow for continuous remote monitoring of the person and his/her environment in various situations. Experimental results demonstrate the potential utilization of electromagnetic and piezoelectric vibration-based harvesting techniques for the proposed application.

One of the most important technological evolutions of our time is CLOUD COMPUTING, which describes the web computing power to store and process the information. The evolution and advancements are swiftly increasing in remote monitoring and Telemedicine. This paper aims at transmitting the physiological parameters of the subject to the private cloud called Thing Speak, an IOT based Sensor monitoring system. The physiological parameters are sent to the cloud via ESP8266 (IOT device). The cloud computing helps the physician to be connected with the patient’s data and it is helpful in monitoring the patients at any time through internet.

Abstract This paper presents an Open Platform Activity and health monitoring systems which are also called e-Health systems. These systems measure and store parameters that reflect changes in the human body. Due to continuous monitoring (e.g. in rest state and in physical effort state), a specialist can learn about the individual's physiological parameters. Because the human body is a complex system, the examiner can notice some changes within the body by looking at the physiological parameters. Six different sensors ensure us that the patient's individual parameters are monitored. The main components of the device are: A Raspberry Pi 3 small single-board computer, an e-Health Sensor Platform by Cooking-Hacks, a Raspberry Pi to Arduino Shields Connection Bridge and a 7-inch Raspberry Pi 3 touch screen. The processing unit is the Raspberry Pi 3 board. The Raspbian operating system runs on the Raspberry Pi 3, which provides a solid base for the software. Every examination can be controlled by the touch screen. The measurements can be started with the graphical interface by pressing a button and every measured result can be represented on the GUI’s label or on the graph. The results of every examination can be stored in a database. From that database the specialist can retrieve every personalized data.
