Abstract

New innovation in technology has led to a lot of improvement in medical devices and system. A traditional method used in healthcare has a lot of concerns which need to be eliminated to make human life more comfortable and hassle free. With the advent of internet world has been changing rapidly. Internet of Things is said to be next big thing in technology. The combination of raspberry pi which is a small Linux computer with Internet of Things has a great potential to be used in design and construction of a healthcare system which would completely change the way healthcare is provided nowadays. A system which consists of sensors to take health parameters like temperature and heart beat as input has been designed and proposed. Input taken from sensor are processed in raspberry pi and displayed on LCD. The processed data are sent on internet on a server by creating a gateway on raspberry pi so that doctors can continuously monitor the health status of patient. A camera on the patient side is put so that patient live monitoring can be done on internet by doctor. An android application and a web application have been designed to access the sensor data whenever they wish so. The proposed model is compared with Arduino uno board for validation.
