IoT based application for e-health an improvisation for lateral rotation

Internet of Things (IoT) has penetrated into our day-to-day activities in one way or the other. IoT application provides a huge opportunity for applications in health care system, improving patients' quality of life. The combination of embedded systems, sensors and actuators associated with constant monitoring of patients aids in alleviating patient discomfort, providing timely assistance and supervision. IoT has a vast scope in health care system due to affordability and possibility to develop compact systems. In this paper, we propose an IoT based solution that can be adapted into Lateral Rotation Mattress used for bed-bound patients through embedding sensors to recognize patient discomfort and alleviate it through an intelligent IoT system.
