IEHSAM: IoT based E-Health and Sleep Apnea Monitoring System

Abstract

This paper represents a system called "IEHSAM: an IoT-based E-Health and Sleep Apnea Monitoring System" that is employed for monitoring the health of elderly and disabled people in real-time. The project is to design a remote healthcare system. The first part is the detection of a person’s vital signs using sensors, the second part is for sending information to the website and the last part is contributing the disclosed information for remote surveying. Remote surveying of the data enables a doctor or guardian to monitor a person’s health improvement away from the person’s premises. This device allows a person to be monitored continuously. The system makes use of an Arduino to achieve this functionality. It makes use of sensors like temperature sensors, pulse oximeter sensors, GSR sensors to keep track of a person’s health. This project also helps the person to get a medicine alert and a fall detector is used to give alerts to the patient’s guardian using IoT when the elderly people falls down from the bedside. The sensors are secured to a microcontroller of the Arduino to track the condition which is in turn connected to wi-fi module in order to transfer the real time notifications through internet. The system shows detail of a person’s status over IoT in real-time. Thus IoT builds a health tracking system that beneficially uses the internet to observe health conditions and protect individuals in due time.
