Iot platform for the monitoring of non-invasive physiological parameters

Abstract

The healthcare sector has experienced significant advancements thanks to the incorporation of new technologies that improve patient diagnosis and monitoring. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key tool for real-time data acquisition and transmission, facilitating the implementation of intelligent healthcare systems [1], [2]. These technologies have enabled the development of devices capable of measuring physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, and oxygen saturation, contributing to more efficient and timely medical care [3], [4].

Despite these advances, many of the devices available on the market have limitations related to data accuracy, continuous monitoring, and high costs, which restricts their use in low-resource settings [5], [6]. Furthermore, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases remain among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for accessible solutions that allow for the continuous monitoring of vital signs [7], [8].  In this regard, several studies have proposed the use of non-invasive sensors and IoT platforms for remote patient monitoring; however, differences exist in the reliability, accessibility, and ease of use of these systems, highlighting the need to develop more comprehensive alternatives [3], [4].

Therefore, the main objective of this study was to develop a graphical user interface integrated into a non-invasive electronic prototype for real-time monitoring of physiological parameters using IoT technologies. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed system exhibits high data measurement accuracy, with a margin of error of less than 5% compared to medical equipment, and offers an accessible and efficient solution for monitoring patient health.
