Smart Chair for Bio-Medical Applications Using Internet of Things (IoT)

In this work, we present a novel design of Smart Chair for Bio medical Application. The main purpose of this proposal is to implement health monitoring system of patients to check medical history using Internet of things. For that we had used various parameter of sensor embedded with chair to read patient’s vital signs automatically whenever patient sit on a chair. Apart from that we are using RFID (Radio frequency Identification) card interface with chair for personal identification of patients in hospitals particularly with name, age, health problem etc. Hence, our proposal can be achieved in two cases for hospital as well as for home. At home Smart chair can be used for senior citizen or handicap people for regular check-up while sitting on a chair whenever required. In this case, if physiological parameter (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, pulse rate, body weight and temperature) reads vital signs all matched to its normal value then it indicates green light. And if 3 to 4 parameters get abnormal or varying then it indicates red light and gives alarm notification through android app to the doctor or nearby hospital staffs through alert message in case of emergency, to take appropriate action. In our case we are using Android app or display screen to display the data or results through Wi-Fi module via internet and can be access it from anywhere and anytime. Here, we are storing patient medical history through android application for future reference.
