Abstract

The objective of IoT in healthcare is to empower people to live healthy lives by wearing connected equipment. The healthcare industry has perpetually been in the forefront in the adoption and utilization of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the efficient healthcare administration). Detection of atrial fibrillation is done by checking the variations in the period of the heart rate. If a patient has atrial fibrillation, the period between each heartbeat will vary. A gas sensor is used to check the quality of air and a MEMS sensor to detect the fall of the body. The MEMS sensor is a compact device that collects comprehensive physical information and uses the gateway and cloud to analyze and store information.
