In recent times, wireless sensors and sensor networks have become a great interest to research, scientific and technological community. Though sensor networks have been prevalent for more than a few decades now, the wireless domain has opened up a whole new application space of sensors. In the modern era, patients are being monitored using a network of wireless sensors. The cost of hospitalization is rapidly increasing along with the cost of rehabilitation after a major illness or surgery. During this recovery period, several physiological parameters need to be continuously measured. Hence, telemedicine and remote monitoring of patients at home are gaining added importance and urgency. An IoT smart-noninvasive-wearable physiological parameters monitoring system can be used to monitor physiological parameters, such as temperature and heart rate, saline level and of a human subject. The system consists of an electronic device which is worn on the wrist and finger. Using several sensors to measure different vital signs, the person is wirelessly monitored within his own home. The device detects if a person is medically distressed and sends an alarm to a receiver unit that is connected to a computer. This sets off an alarm, allowing help to be provided to the user. The device is battery powered for outdoor use. The device can be easily adapted to monitor athletes and infants. The low cost of the device will help to lower the cost of home monitoring of patients recovering from illness.
