Real-Time Monitoring System Based on Li-Fi Network Technology in Healthcare

Patients at healthcare facilities require a long-term continuous healthcare monitoring system to keep track of their vital signs. As it deals with human life, this system must be safe, trustworthy, and does not interfere with available radio frequencies or sensitive electronic devices such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This paper introduces a patient monitoring system in intensive care that uses Li-Fi technology, designed to help enhance patient care and boost doctor’s clinical results. This robust approach collects patient data timely and integrates securely within the hospital IT framework, feeding information to physicians, allowing them to make informed clinical decisions. The system uses real-time software which displays the data from different locations for assessment. It was successfully tested in the laboratory. Some measurements are discussed, which compare the received pulses to the module’s line of sight (LOS) output channel to correlate the transmitted channels. In this work, experimental analysis and measurements are performed to check the efficiency of the proposed concept.
