Smart health monitoring system using IoT based smart fitness mirrorTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The smart fitness mirror proposed in this researchaims to provide the users with a platform to monitor their health and fitness status on a daily basis. The system employs a number of sensors to monitor the body mass index (BMI) and amount of body fat present in the user’s body. A weight scale consisting of four load sensors has been implemented to obtain the weight of the user whereas an ultrasonic sensor has been used to measure the height of the user. In addition, four electrode plates have been implemented on the foot weight scale to infuse a small amount of electric current (1mA) for BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) to estimate the amount of body fat percentage, lean body mass and total body water. An IR temperature sensor has been implemented in the research to measure the temperature of the user’s body from the forehead. Tests conducted on the system illustrate that it is able to accurately compute the body mass index and perform a bioelectrical impedance analysis on the user. The system is able to achieve a 92.5 % and 93.7 % accuracy in determining the body mass index and body fat percentage respectively. An accuracy of 95.3 % was observed in the determination of the body temperature.

Innomantra viewpoint vital sign monitors covid 19 v1.0FF July 2020Innomantra
SUMMARY
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an unprecedented health crisis world-wide. Remote monitoring of COVID-19 patients is a crucial requirement since this enables continuous patient monitoring without compromising the safety of the health care provider. Remote monitoring using wearables can be obtrusive and uncomfortable for the user, especially when used for long periods of time. Advances in wireless transmission systems and signal processing have enabled researchers to monitor vital signs by analysing characteristics of wireless signals that have reflected off of the subject. Wireless signals for sensing vital signs has been developed since 2015 but there are still significant challenges to be overcome. One of the challenges in using wireless signals to monitor vital signs is that any motion in the environment affects the signal. Furthermore, the presence of multiple users prevents systems from operating error free, even if the users are stationary.
The key player in the wireless vital signs monitoring is MIT’s Emerald Innovations with its wireless sensing technology that monitors breathing and heart rate without body contact. Another player is Origin Wireless with its Origin Health, that enables accurate respiratory, monitoring at home without intrusive wearables. ResMed and Microsoft/University of Washington are other players that have developed wireless vital signs monitoring technology. But they do not seem to be commercializing their technology for COVID-19. Though there are some developments in wireless vital signs technology, there are significant opportunities for other players to innovate. Interference, Patient Movements and multiple user differentiation are some of the problems that need to be addressed to improve the accuracy and sensitivity. The remote vital signs monitoring market is projected to reach US$31.326 billion by the end of 2023 and will become increasingly important and ubiquitous.
In the last decade the healthcare monitoring systems have drawn considerable attentions of the researchers. The prime goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily life activities. In this work we present a mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system that can provide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient. Our proposed system is designed to measure and monitor important physiological data of a patient in order to accurately describe the status of her/his health and fitness. In addition the proposed system is able to send alarming message about the patient’s critical health data by text messages or by email reports. By using the information contained in the text or e-mail message the healthcare professional can provide necessary medical
advising. The system mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, microcontroller (i.e., Arduino), and software (i.e., LabVIEW). The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, muscles, blood pressure, blood glucose level, and ECG data are monitored, displayed, and stored by our system. To ensure reliability and accuracy the proposed system has been field tested. The test results show that our system is able to measure the patient’s physiological data with a very high accuracy.
The health care market will rise to $520 billion by 2025. So, it is time to take the step into IoT application development for medical purposes. The primary purpose of IoT in the medical field is to monitor patients’ vital signs remotely and provide medicines without being physically present. So, the doctor can manage social distances as well as check and monitor the patient’s health.

BSN is a prior and emerging technology in the medical field .BSN care system first deploy light weight ,tinypowered
sensors on patient body which communicate with each other and the coordinator node which is on
the body.This system mainly focuses on the measurement and estimation of important parameters like
ECG,temperature,level of blood. This real time system focuses on several parameters like patient location,
data storage, motion detection and transmission of data as well as alert messages to first responder and
server of hospital.In this system we are using three types of sensors ECG sensor,temperature sensor and
level sensor which gathers patients information and sends to micro-controller via which it goes to
BTC(Bluetooth Controller) through it is transferred to an Android smart phone of patient via Wi-Fi/Internet it
goes to server and from the server data is sends to doctors Android App. We are additionally using NFC(Near
Field Communication) technology,motion detection of patient by continuous grabbing of feed from
camera.Subsequently, by using this customized algorithm we proposed IOT based healthcare system using
body sensors which efficiently accomplish requirement.
Nobody can predict the future, however by following trends, we can navigate the direction in which we’re heading. Trends are dictated by a wide range of economic and political factors, and often they are propelled by innovations. The newest technological trends owe themselves to necessary innovations in the healthcare industry, spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the Covid-19 pandemic revealing the gaps and inefficiencies of healthcare systems around the world, the newest developments in healthcare technologies are suddenly getting a lot more attention. This is useful, because the executives who are often hesitant in changing long-standing healthcare practices must revaluate and evolve in order to provide the most effective treatment plans for their patients.
