“…The optimized microcircuit design of Temperature System Sensors (TSYS) are available in miniature packages which respond quickly to changes in process temperature with very low power consumption. Thermistor is most commonly used temperature sensor to measure body temperature ,in [2] and [3] NTC type thermistors are used. The temperature is measured in the range of +25 °C to +45 °C .…”

“…Recent works surrounding the measurement of body temperature all use thermistor-type sensors. In [26] and [27], the common negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) type temperature sensors were used, while positive-temperature-coefficient (PTC) sensors were considered in [28] and [29]. In all studies, the thermostats were shown to measure a suitable range of temperatures for monitoring the human body, with acceptable levels of error.…”

Internet of Things (IOT) is the technology that can help integrate both physical and digital worlds. With associated technologies like Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), communication standards and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), to mention few, it has got plenty of use cases in the real world. One such use case is healthcare industry. Since healthcare industry needs seamless integration and quality in health care services, IoT has become crucial for taking the industry to the next level in providing satisfactory services. There are many benefits of integrating IoT with the infrastructure of healthcare units. One important benefit is real time health monitoring. With wearable technology patients can have body sensors and doctor can view vital signs of patients live. This could help in providing real time healthcare services so as to provide timely diagnosis and treatments. It also avoids many conventional barriers like travelling and wasting time. Still it is in its inception therefore, this paper throws light on the present state-of-theart of IoT and its integration with healthcare units. It provides useful insights on various aspects of integration besides giving recommendations.

“…Hence monitoring their health conditions becomes vital. The wearable systems for monitoring the physiological signals developed so far targets a number of applications such as home healthcare monitoring [3], physiological status monitoring of soldier's health conditions in a battle field [4,5], monitoring the health status of astronauts in space [6], coal mine workers [7][8][9], fire fighters fighting fire [10][11][12], Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) [13]. A wearable belt to monitor body temperature, heart and breathing rates and body position of babies has connectivity using ZigBee to monitor SIDS in infants [14].…”

Wearable remote health monitoring systems have gained significant prominence in the recent years due to their growth in technological advances. One form of the Wearable Physiological Monitoring System (WPMS) is the Wearable Body Area Networks (WBAN) used to monitor the health status of the wearer for long durations. The paper discusses a prototype WBAN based wearable physiological monitoring system to monitor physiological parameters such as Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) acquired using a textile electrode, Photoplethysmogram (PPG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Blood Pressure derived from analysis of Pulse Transmit Time (PTT) and body temperature. The WBAN consists of three sensor nodes that are placed strategically to acquire the physiological signals and the sensor nodes communicate to a chest/wrist worn sink node also known as wearable data acquisition hardware. The sink node receives physiological data from the sensor nodes and is transmitted to a remote monitoring station. The remote monitoring station receives the raw data and it is processed to remove noises, such as power line interference, baseline wander and tremor in the signals and the information is extracted and displayed. The WBANs are designed using the ZigBee wireless communication modules to transmit and receive the data. At the remote monitoring station the physiological parameters such as heart rate, pulse rate, systolic, diastolic blood pressure, GSR and body temperature are continuously monitored from the wearer. The data acquired from the wearable monitoring system is statically validated using a qualified medical device on 34 subjects.
