Sistema de telemedicina basado en IOT para monitoreo de pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias

Abstract

This research project describes the development of a Telemedicine system based on the “Internet of Things”, designed to monitor heart rate, oxygen saturation and temperatura; vital signs that mainly in patients with with respiratory diseases it necessary to monitored. The telemedicine system works with Cloud Computing which allows local visualization, acquisition and storage of data from wearable biomedical sensors in an “Internet of Things” platform, which is widely useful for monitoring and interpretation of the results by a specialized doctor, thus avoiding complications and risks for the patient. The current pandemic situation has caused that medical attention in health services is affected, which makes it difficult to access patient’s checkups, either due to the risk of catching the virus or difficulty commuting. This allows the use of local sign reading devices, but as an almost null interpretation of data, in this way the concept of Telemedicine is introduced, which in relation with the “Internet of Things” and wearable biomedical sensors allows to cover this current need. The project has an impact in the field of Biomedicine and Telemedicine, because by providing technology with adaptable system and wearable, with local visualization and monitoring interface on the ThingSpeak platform, it can be implemented according to the needs of the patient and also the doctor, with an aceptable error range in the measurements in prototypes of Telemedicina systems with their biomedical sensors.
