A Community-Based IoT Personalized Wireless Healthcare Solution Trial

Abstract

This paper presents an advanced Internet of Things point-of-care bio-fluid analyzer; a LoRa/Bluetooth-enabled electronic reader for biomedical strip-based diagnostics system for personalized monitoring. We undertake test simulations (technology trial without patient subjects) to demonstrate potential of long-range analysis, using a disposable test ‘key’ and companion Android app to form a diagnostic platform suitable for remote point-of-care screening for urinary tract infection (UTI). The 868 MHz LoRaWAN-enabled personalized monitor demonstrated sound potential with UTI test results being correctly diagnosed and transmitted to a remote secure cloud server in every case. Tests ranged over distances of 1.1–6.0 Km with radio path losses from 119–141 dB. All tests conducted were correctly and robustly received at the base station and relayed to the secure server for inspection. The UTI test strips were visually inspected for correct diagnosis based on color change and verified as 100% accurate. Results from testing across a number of regions indicate that such an Internet of Things medical solution is a robust and simple way to deliver next generation community-based smart diagnostics and disease management to best benefit patients and clinical staff alike. This significant step can be applied to any type of home or region, particularly those lacking suitable mobile signals, broadband connections, or even landlines. It brings subscription-free long-range bio-telemetry to healthcare providers and offers savings on regular clinician home visits or frequent clinic visits by the chronically ill. This paper highlights practical hurdles in establishing an Internet of Medical Things network, assisting informed deployment of similar future systems.

A Comprehensive Study of the Use of LoRa in the Development of Smart Cities

“…LoRa's coverage can be measured on the basis of different parameters, such as received signal strength level (RSSI), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and packet delivery ate (PDR). SNR is an indicator of the link quality with respect to a radio channel´s environmental parameters [57]. IoT applications in smart city require different coverage areas depending on the type applications, location of the sensors, and type of communication, i.e., point-to-point or central-gateway connections.…”

IoT PCR for pandemic disease detection and its spread monitoring

“…These days, a vast amount of the human population has possession of a cell phone with an embedded global positioning system (GPS) connected to mobile networks via base stations using different generations of cellular mobile communications, such as second (global system for mobile communications) (2G), third (universal mobile https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2019.127098 Received 1 August 2019; Received in revised form 29 August 2019; Accepted 4 September 2019 telecommunications system) or fourth (long term evolution (LTE)/ worldwide interoperability for microwave access). Connecting the easy to use and cost-effective POC devices providing the DENV diagnoses via a mobile network would create an Internet of Things (IoT) [15] for healthcare [16,17], an essential tool to tackle any infectious disease outbreak. The IoT would speed up the information transfer from POC devices to a centralized location and then based on models using big data analysis [12,18,19], suggest targeting specific sites.…”

Automated Monitoring System for Heart Patients using Ambubot

“…Intelligent cellular robots and cooperative multi-agent robotic structures are more and more being utilized in many distinct approaches to discover and shop the victims in a faster and more environment friendly way. The robotic that can do such tasks is nicely acknowledged as rescue robot [5]Further work has been carried out to discover emerging new and rising wireless network schemes with an quantity of work tackling IoT community traits and improvements to create smarter IoT networks [10].In such a serious circumstances, technology can be utilized to assist saviours in exceptional jobs. Intelligent mobile robots and cooperative multi-agent robotic systems are being utilized more in numerous ways to find and retailer the victims in a quicker and more effective way [6].To reduce these issues and hold affected person staying alive earlier than the creation of ambulance, we recommend an thought of using AMBUBOT (Ambulance Robot) that ought to carry an AED and as per the format it would be able to function CPR to a individual in cardiac arrest [8].…”

“…In clever cities, due to traffic, on occasion ambulance does not arrive at the emergency spot on time, it can also reasons death. Proposed device to overcome these problems, Ambulance robot(AMBUBOT) is utilized [10].smart ambulance that can acquire and transmit the bleeding person's health reputation to the close by clinic thru the internet [15]. So, the docs can be aware of the bodily conditions, whether the circumstances of the victim is genuinely vital before the victim arrives to the hospital itself [13].…”
