IOT Enabled Hospital Beds In Pandemic

One of the global challenges for humanity is Health. There is a rapid increase of rate in patients who require immediate medical attention due to the recent COVID 19 pandemic. Patients at the Hospital or Elderly people at home require constant Monitoring of health and observation of Practitioners and Doctors. The aim of this project is to create a reasonable budget system which is designed to help guardians and doctors to monitor the health condition of their patients at home even from a distance. This is immensely essential during the pandemics such as the COVID 19, where there is a need to maintain a certain amount of distance from the patient. At hospitals, the current monitoring systems are wired to bulk equipment so the patients are restricted with their mobility. Hence there is an interference in their daily routine and the doctors and nurses will have a lot of trouble keeping the updates of a patients health. This paper presents Internet of Things (IoT) enabled Hospital beds for Pandemics which is a portable system monitoring patients health at all times and also can be fixed to the remote patient without the requirement of being constrained to stay put on their beds all day long. Moreover, the device can measure and display the current health status of a patient which is vital and needed for a better healthcare. IoT consists of physical devices, such as sensors and monitoring devices for patients to connect to the internet and transforming this information from the physical to digital world. The proposed system, with the help of IoT’s mentioned features, will help to keep track of the patients health and simultaneously display the data on a web app at any place hence helping the doctor and nurses to give assistance to patients when it is absolutely vital. There is also an alert added to the webapp as the patients condition becomes critical and there is an immediate need of assistance.
