With the increase in global life expectancy and the advance of technology, the creation of age-friendly environments is a priority in the design of new products for elderly people healthcare. This paper presents a proposal for a real-time health monitoring system of older adults living in geriatric residences. This system was developed to help caregivers to have a better control in monitoring the health of their patients and have closer communication with their patients’ family members. To validate the feasibility and effectiveness of this proposal, a prototype was built, using a biometric bracelet connected to a mobile application, which allows real-time visualization of all the information generated by the sensors (heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygenation) in the bracelet. Using these data, caregivers can make decisions about the health status of their patients. The evaluation found that the users perceived the system to be easy to learn and use, providing initial evidence that our proposal could improve the quality of the adult’s healthcare.

Continuous health monitoring in real-time has become essential to improve people's quality of life through medical prescription or personal control. Our goal is to develop a wearable IoMT device with real-time monitoring of heart rate and breathing patterns while an athlete performs physical exercise at high-intensity intervals. The wearable IoMT device incorporates vital signs sensors to record and display information in a mobile application, allowing users to track their health and receive an alert if the data exceeds normal parameters.

As the technology changing every year so, there has been an attempt to apply the new technology in numerous areas to increase the quality of human life. One of the main fields of research that has seen an implementation of the technology is the healthcare sector. Consequently, our paper is an effort to solve a healthcare problem currently people are facing. Main objective of our paper is to enterprise a remote healthcare system. It covers of three key parts. The first part is, detection of patient’s condition with the proposed system, second is to storing data on cloud storage and the last part is to provide the data for isolated viewing. Remote observing of the data empowers a doctor or custodian to television a patient’s health advancement from anywhere. In this project, we have obtainable an IoT architecture personalized for healthcare applications. The main motive of this scheme is to come up with a Remote Health Monitoring System that will completed with locally available sensors with a view to manufacture it reasonable for everybody

The health monitoring system has become indispensable in the treatment of patients, especially for those who have chronic illnesses and need real-time observation from doctors and specialists. This article presents a low-cost wireless solution for monitoring, in real time, vital signs such as cardiac beats, breathing and blood pressure, collecting and sending data to a remote computer. During development, a wireless sensor box was created, using Arduino Nano and bluetooh sensors, where this box is attached to the patient's body, respecting the patient's flexibility and mobility during physical exercises. During the monitoring, the captured data is transmitted via the bluetooh network. The box uses a battery for its food. After the evaluation, the solution obtained a performance and correctness of the data close to 100%, being considered fit for use. Several experiments were carried out to analyze, quantify and qualify the solution, being discussed and presented in this paper.
