Portable Medical Records Using Internet of Things for Medical Devices

Forgetting our medical file while visiting the doctor or misplacing out on some important medical reports, regular visits to a remotely located hospital or inability to meet the doctor in an alarming situation – all these seemingly far-stretched complicated issues only get simplified using an IOT / ICT enabled system. The Internet of Things (IoT) can be described asa smart network of devices that are interconnected and embedded with sensors and software used to collect data and exchange information. The IoT has a variety of application domains, including health care as one of its chief research area. Our project eliminates the traditional system of preserving patient's medical health literature by introducing a portable web server which stores and synchronizes all kinds of patient information (reports, findings, scans, prescriptions, medical history, etc.) thereby making the system go paperless and hassle free. Further, this paper demonstrates the various functionalities implemented inorder to devise portable medical records and discusses on the scope of the core idea in the near future revolutionizing the field of healthcare.
