Abstract

IoT in health care is wireless communication system of applications and devices which connects health providers and patients to detect, observe, track, and store medical information and statistics. In this chapter, various case studies of smart healthcare system have been discussed. A model which would monitor aspects of a human body such as his pulse rate and temperature are described. Smart IOT-enabled healthcare wearable device is used to aid paralyzed person for daily chores using machine learning to get better in understanding the patient gestures over time. Health monitoring system pill box and a pulse rate sensor is discussed for Alzheimer’s patients. The system is based on Arduino-Uno microcontroller and uses accelerometer and pulse sensor to get data from the patient.
