A cooperative Internet of Things (IoT) for rural healthcare monitoring and control

Internet of Things (IoT) concept enables the possibility of information discovery about a tagged object or a tagged person by browsing an internet addresses or database entry that corresponds to a particular active RFID with sensing capability. It is a media for information retrieval from physical world to a digital world. With cooperative wireless communication, the wireless node entities can increase their effective quality of service (QoS) via cooperation. In developing countries the death rates due to lack of timely available medical treatments are quite high as compared to other developed countries. The majority of these deaths are preventable through quality care. This paper proposes a cooperative IoT approach for the better health monitoring and control of rural and poor human being's health parameters like blood pressure (BP), hemoglobin (HB), blood sugar, abnormal cellular growth in any part of the body, etc.
