LoRaWAN-Driven Patient Monitoring and Accurate Location for Emergency Medical Services

In emergencies, prompt medical assistance is essential. Conventional healthcare systems frequently face difficulties in swiftly evaluating and addressing patients' health situations, particularly when individuals are unable to convey their state effectively. This delay may result in adverse health consequences or even mortality. Current manual monitoring techniques may prove unfeasible in emergency situations. The research work has created an IoT-based health monitoring and GPS tracking system employing LoRaWAN technology to tackle these difficulties. This system provides ongoing monitoring of essential health metrics, including heart rate, blood oxygen level, systolic and diastolic pressures, and body temperature, ensuring prompt detection of any irregularities. Precise monitoring of the patient's location enables rapid deployment of emergency responders to the exact place. LoRaWAN technology facilitates data transmission over distances of up to 8 kilometers, guaranteeing dependable connection in remote locations. Automatic alerts to healthcare practitioners and emergency contacts following the identification of crucial health thresholds or distress signals facilitate immediate response. Through the integration of these aspects, our system ensures ongoing surveillance, swift diagnosis of health crises, accurate location tracking, and prompt medical assistance, thereby markedly enhancing patient safety and the efficacy of emergency response.
