Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a human health monitoring system (HHMS) which helps in improving diagnostics at an earlier stage and monitoring after recoup. Design/methodology/approach The methodology involves a combination of three subsystems which monitors the human parameters such as temperature, heart rate, SpO2, fall and location of the person. Various sensors are used to extract the human parameters, and the data are analysed in a computer subsystem, through Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Internet of Things (IoT) subsystem; the parameters measured are communicated to the caregiver and doctor. Findings Results have successfully demonstrated monitoring human temperature human temperature, heart rate, SpO2 and fall and location continuously using the HHMS prototype. Reliability of the technique used for monitoring these parameters is assessed by Proteus Professional 8 and LabVIEW simulators. Practical implications The HHMS enables long-term monitoring without any sort of interference from regular activities and allows daily health monitoring, elderly monitoring and so on. Originality/value First, the proposed HHMS simultaneously monitors five human parameters. Second, unlike most monitoring systems which uses older communication module, the proposed system is made smart using IoT. The proposed method has been made into a prototype system as detailed in this paper. The proposed HHMS can achieve high detection accuracy. Therefore, this system can be reliably deployed into a consumer product for use as monitoring device with high accuracy.

The purpose of this paper is to design a greenhouse monitoring system (GHMS) which helps the cultivator to monitor environment and control the sensor values by means of feedback mechanism. The methodology involves the combination of six sensors which gives the values of the environment such as temperature, humidity, moisture, obstacle entry, pH and light. The sensor values are analyzed and sent to cloud using Wi-Fi module which enables the online monitoring, displays the values of the sensor in liquid crystal display (LCD) and also send alert mail and messages. The results are obtained and the values are updated in cloud and webpages. This design enables the cultivator to protect the greenhouse environment both online and also offline. In addition to it also gives the alert about any intruder or animals crossing the cultivation area. Thereby the soil parameters, environmental conditions and intruder entry are included in the proposed work. The proposed work of GHMS provides the low cost framework to sense the environment parameters such as temperature, humidity, moisture, light and pH. It also protect the environment of greenhouse from animal attacks using an infrared (IR) obstacle sensor. The sensor values are updated in cloud and messages is sent through Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) module which is a cost effective one. The need of al-time internet connection is overcome by sending messages.
