Internet of Things Utilization for eHealthcare Monitoring
Abstract: Wireless sensor networks play an important role in providing eHealthcare (eHc), data storage processing and sensing devices. The growing technologies in various fields such as WSNs, dedicated computer system (Embedded systems), Nanotechnologies and sensing technology, led to developing intelligent systems for patients telemonitoring to control different medical cases easily. Internet of Thing (IoT) can be considered as a modern tool that recently emerged in health communication systems and it’s an important way for modern healthcare in various health applications. The wearable sensor devices can recognize abnormal and unexpected changes in physiological parameters for elderly in order to evaluate the vital signs for medical diagnoses, hence, giving a necessary medication to the patient in a timely manner to avoid critical cases. This study presents a communication gateway (System-On-Chip (SoC)) which controls the sensors based on patient’s parameters such as pulse rate sensor, temperature sensor and brain signals coming from the brain. The SoC gained data from outside, process these data, then transmit it over Wireless Networks (WSNs) through a proper protocol in order to provide a suitable telemonitoring healthcare elderly by specialists.
