Publication – Rpinnacle Publisher (Journal of Advanced Computing and Visual Analytics, Volume 1, Issue 1) — Authors: Abhishek Kumar Shukla, Anant Yadav — Mentor: Priya Jyoti — Publication Date: January 24, 2025
Abstract: This research paper addresses a significant literature gap in healthcare monitoring systems by proposing a novel methodology that integrates weight monitoring into an Internet of Things (IoT)-based framework. In the era of technological advancement, IoT serves as a powerful tool for obtaining health-related data remotely. While existing studies have explored various IoT applications, including connected cars and automated residences, the crucial parameter of patient weight has been overlooked in current healthcare monitoring systems. The proposed methodology leverages the ESP8266 module for Wi-Fi connectivity, facilitating seamless data transmission and remote monitoring capabilities. Key IoT applications such as oxygen sensors, heart rate sensors, ECG modules, and temperature sensors are already established in healthcare systems, but the incorporation of a weight sensor is essential for a holistic understanding of a patient's overall health. Regular monitoring of weight provides valuable insights, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions. Through the integration of a weight sensor, this research enhances the capabilities of healthcare providers, allowing them to remotely access accurate and real-time weight measurements alongside other vital signs. This comprehensive approach empowers healthcare professionals to deliver more effective care, especially in remote settings where regular patient visits may be challenging.
