EDGE COMPUTING AND IOT BASED HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS

As Internet of Things (IoT) devices become more common and edge computing applications expand to accommodate them, many industries are thinking of ways to make the best use of this technology. Health care systems stands immensely from the expand use of IoT devices and edge computing. The people in need of healthcare services find it very expensive this is particularly true in developing countries. With improvement in technology previously expensive hospital equipment has been redesigned using current technology. The main objective of the project was to design a patient health care monitoring system and transfer and process the result to the doctor by using IoT and edge computing .The first part being detection of blood pressure, heartbeat, and body temperature. Second part is transferring this detected data to the internet by using wifi-module and the last part is the android application for Remote viewing of the data enables a doctor or health specialist. Recent technology trend has seen Smart watches, fitness trackers and Smart phones with portable heartbeat detectors. All these are commonly referred to as wearable technology
