Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the connectivity and communication of tangible objects, and it serves as a versatile and cost-effective solution in the healthcare sector, particularly in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure. This research explores the application of sensors such as LM35, AD8232, and MAX30100 for the detection of vital health indicators, including body temperature, pulse rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), and oxygen saturation levels, with data transmission through IoT cloud, offering real-time parameter access via an Android application for non-invasive remote patient monitoring. The study aims to expand healthcare services to various settings, such as hospitals, commercial areas, educational institutions, workplaces, and residential neighborhoods. After the COVID-19 pandemic, IoT-enabled continuous monitoring of critical health metrics such as temperature and pulse rate has become increasingly crucial for early illness detection and efficient communication with healthcare providers. Our low-cost wearable device, which includes ECG monitoring, aims to bridge the accessibility gap for people with limited financial resources, with the primary goal of providing efficient healthcare solutions to underserved rural areas while also contributing valuable data to future medical research. Our proposed system is a low-cost, high-efficiency solution that outperforms existing systems in healthcare data collection and patient monitoring. It improves access to vital health data and shows economic benefits, indicating a significant advancement in healthcare technology.
