With tons of new healthcare technology start-ups, IoT is rapidly revolutionizing the healthcare industry.
In this project we have designed IoT Based Patient Health Monitoring System using ESP8266 & Arduino. The IoT
platform used in this project is Thing Speak. Thing Speak is an open source Internet of Things (IoT) application
and API to store and retrieve data from things using the HTTP protocol over the Internet or via a Local Area
Network. This IoT device could read pulse rate and measure surrounding temperature. System has the cloud
database which stores all information about patient’s health and the Doctors will prescribe medicine using this
information stored on cloud. Device even it allows patient to move freely and can be monitored continuously it
continuously monitors the pulse rate and surrounding temperature and updates them to an IoT platform. The
Arduino Sketch running over the device implements the various functionalities of the project like reading sensor
data, converting them into strings, passing them to the IoT platform and displaying measured pulse rate and
temperature on character LCD.
