IoT enabled wireless health monitoring system using textile antenna

Abstract

Health monitoring systems have predominantly been in the limelight in recent years. This progressive field has seen innovative approaches and breathtaking features introduced by means of the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper takes a step forward as an effort to prioritize user's comfort incorporating Wemos D1 Mini and Textile Antenna, ruling out the possibility of forgetting the wearable at home. This essentially introduces how sensors clubbed with a textile antenna could be the new face of IoT in the coming years. The health parameters, including heart rate, pulse rate and body temperature, can conveniently be accessed by the guardian through an application designed exclusively to take immediate action. The project's testing phase delivered coherent results with the textile antenna fixed on the patient's outfit. With the successful deployment, the concerned doctor could receive unhampered notifications about the patient's health condition without further ado.
