Implementation of Health Monitoring System for Patients using Li-Fi Technology

In our country near about 1/4 of the patients lose their lives due to interrupted health monitoring system. In most of the hospitals, doctor visits patients once or twice in a day. A situation might arise where the patient's health becomes critical in between that interval when a doctor is not available with a patient and the patient might lose their life. Therefore, to overcome these issues of existing system we are proposing health monitoring by using Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology, where patient's health is monitored and it will be updated to the doctor throughout the day. Li-Fi technology is a new emerging technology which uses wireless optical networking phenomenon for data transmission with data rate of 224Gbps. The use of Li-Fi technology for health-care monitoring system is that it can measure various physiological parameters of the human body and is secure, reliable and better than conventional Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology. Results of the prototype model show better performance in terms of accessibility and portability of the physiological sensor. Proposed system is user friendly, cost effective and will have impact on the upcoming days in the hospitals.
