HEMAN: Health monitoring and nous: An IoT based e-health care system for remote telemedicine

Abstract

Any country with Social, technological and economical advancement needs enhanced healthcare system. Telemedicine healthcare system provides the provision of medical treatment from a remote distance. The telemedicine research and product development has embarked prodigious growth during the past decade primarily due to tremendous technological advancement in ICT and automation. The aim of IoT-based health care system is to ensure and increase the welfare of patients and the quality of life in rural areas. In this paper we present a low cost Health sensor platform for rural health monitoring with a well-structured and secure interface between medical experts and Remote centers for sharing of important medical parameters. In our proposed and implemented model we developed separate interface for medical experts and remote Centre's and introduced a new algorithm for implementation. Features like live video streaming, chat boxes, automatic prescription generation and push notification are included. The prototype is used for trial under the supervision of medical experts and the data are compared with standard test done in pathological laboratory. The result is satisfactory with good level of acceptance.
