a temperature sensor, second is Heartbeat sensor and the
third one is humidity sensor. We also measure the BP and
insulin level using sensors. This project is very useful
since the doctor can monitor patient health parameters just
by visiting website or URL. And nowadays many IOT apps
are also being developed. So now the doctor or family
members can monitor or track the patient health through
the Android apps. To operate IOT based health monitoring
system project, you need a Wi-Fi connection. The micro-
controller or the Arduino board connects to the Wi-Fi
network using a Wi-Fi module.
This project will not work without a working Wi-
Fi network. You can create a Wi-Fi zone using a Wi-Fi

there are chances that these devices can get corrupt and
data might be lost. Whereas, in case of IOT, the cloud
storage is more reliable and does have minimal
chances of data loss.

VI. IOT APPLICATIONS OF THIS PROJECT

This is an important sensor based project which

has the latest technology implemented in it. And it has
many applications & advantages as mentioned below.

 IOT Health care is the most demanding field in the

medical area. This project is for, elderly person in
our home. Also for the senior citizen living alone or
living with 1 or 2 members. This project really proves
helpful when family members need to go out for some
emergency work.

 Disable patients can use this project. Disable patients

who find it really difficult to go to doctors on daily
