Internet of Things Enabled In-Home Health Monitoring System Using Early Warning Score
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Early warning score (EWS) is an approach to detect the deterioration of a patient. It is based on a fact that there are several changes in the physiological parameters prior a clinical deterioration of a patient. Currently, EWS procedure is mostly used for in-hospital clinical cases and is performed in a manual paper-based fashion. In this paper, we propose an automated EWS health monitoring system to intelligently monitor vital signs and prevent health deterioration for in-home patients using Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies. IoT enables our solution to provide a real-time 24/7 service for health professionals to remotely monitor in-home patients via Internet and receive notifications in case of emergency. We also demonstrate a proof-of-concept EWS system where continuous reading, transferring, recording, and processing of vital signs have been implemented.
