Abstract: The Internet of things has revolutionized almost every domain of industry. Healthcare is also one of them. The healthcare system in India is not quite up to the mark when we compare it with the healthcare systems of European countries. We have not more than ninety-five thousand I.C.U beds. This number is relatively less if we look at the large population of our country. Patients admitted to I.C.U are very critical, and healthcare professionals need all the possible information about the patients in real-time, like body temperature, E.C.G, blood pressure, heart pulse. A manual collection of this data is a very tedious task. IoT based patient monitoring system will be beneficial in transferring all the information to a database in real-time. This database will alert doctors and health professionals if the values cross a threshold value.

The patient monitoring system will be a raspberry pi based system. This system will collect the patient's data using a few sensors and transfer the data using a wifi module; we can use the ESP866 module. This data can be stored in a remote database or the hospital's database. This data will be accessible to the officials of the hospital.
