A Trusted Ubiquitous Healthcare Monitoring System for Hospital Environment

Abstract

Wireless Body Sensor Network with wearable and implantable body sensors have been grabbing lot of interests among the researchers and healthcare service providers. These sensors forward physiological data to the personnel at the hospital, doctor or caretaker anytime, anywhere; hence the name of the network is Ubiquitous health monitoring system. The technology has brought Internet of Things into this system making it to get connected to the cloud based internet. This has made the retrieval of information to the expert and thus improving the happiness of elderly people and patients suffering from chronic diseases. This paper focuses on creating an android based application for monitoring patients in hospital environment. The necessity of sharing hospital data to the experts around the globe has brought the necessity of trust in Health care systems. The data sharing in the IOT environment is secured. The environment is tested in real-time cloud environment. The proposed android application serves to be better architecture for hospital monitoring.

Smart monitoring information system based on RF 433 Mhz (SMIS)

“…Wireless communications namely Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 433 MHz, have been widely used in many applications recently. the following Table 1 gives a comparison between these wireless technologies in terms of band operated, energy consumption, range, debit and battery life [19]: However, the 433 MHz bit rate is only 9.6 kbps, making it ideal for applications in which only a small amount of data needs to be transmitted. Therefore, it is generally used for modern control systems.…”
