IoT-Based Patient Remote Health Monitoring in Ambulance Services

Ambulatory health care is a type of remote patient monitoring that allows a medical caretaker to use the medical device in the ambulance to perform a routine test and send the test data to a healthcare professional in real time. Even though there are various methods to observe the health condition of the patient at home or in the hospital, the necessity of the quick measures to treat the person in case of emergencies are not yet fulfilled. If the person suddenly falls ill and is being carried to the hospital, the doctor will get to know the condition or the cause of the illness only after diagnosing the patient which will consume more time. There is a need for monitoring technology in ambulances since in case of emergency lots of time is wasted in carrying patient to the hospital and diagnosing. To overcome this problem, online system for remoting health parameters of a patient in the ambulance is proposed in this paper. The experiment is conducted to compare the system values with the values obtained by the standard devices and the results are in a good format and the system is efficient.
