Abstract

The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is driving a transformation in the healthcare sector. This paradigm change provides new opportunities for real-time, ongoing physical parameter monitoring, particularly in remote situations, providing an ideal setting for research and development. IoT device deployment has become widespread, enabling the growth of an automated data exchange ecosystem. However, our capacity to carry out remote monitoring has been constrained by our past dependence on specialized electronic equipment for assessing vital signs such as heart rate (beats per minute [BPM]) and oxygen saturation (SpO2). To address this issue, we developed an innovative technology that makes use of internet connectivity to allow for remote vital sign measurement and monitoring. The main focus of this article is the use of IoT technology to measure and track vital physiological indicators, notably heart rate and oxygen saturation, regardless of a person’s location. In addition, our study aims to create a system that can send out real-time notifications in the event of serious medical emergencies, increasing the likelihood that life-saving actions can be taken in a timely manner.
