Design and Implementation of a Feasible Model for the IoT Based Ubiquitous Healthcare Monitoring System for Rural and Urban Areas

The Internet of Things (IoT) based real-time health monitoring system has contributed towards a brilliant human welfare both in urban and rural areas. Many of such solutions are not well applicable in developing countries like Bangladesh due to lack of uninterrupted communication system. In this paper, we present an IoT-based real-time health monitoring system that can measure, monitor and report people’s health condition online and offline from anywhere. Our proposed IoT based solution is capable to transmit the sensitive health information to medical centres and caregivers in real time. The proposed system has been designed with Arduino UNO, Nodemcu, and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) modules to measure body temperature, pulse rate, Oxygen saturation, room temperature, and air quality in a smart home setting. The system can also provide the patient’s historical health records. Our implementation was tested on some test cases which works excellent with accuracy. The proposed system has high potentiality for the rural and urban areas in developing countries.
