Real-Time Health Monitoring System Using IoT [Case Study] 1

What we Achieved

User-friendly Mobile App

Designed a mobile app that enables early detection of vital signs changes and potential health issues.

Uninterrupted Data Transmission

The app allows efficient remote patient monitoring 24/7 for timely interventions.

Meets Regulatory Standards

Compliant with HIPAA and GDPR.

Scalable System

The system is scalable to monitor unlimited patients at hospitals or at home.

2x Lower Operational Costs

The new system significantly lowers operational costs for healthcare providers.

FDA Approved

The project has received CE mark approval and FDA clearance.

Solution

Empeek designed a mobile app software that uses custom-designed wristwatches equipped with PPG sensors that capture vital signs hundreds of times per second. Data is securely transmitted to a cloud-based server accessible by both patients and healthcare professionals through dedicated mobile applications.

Mobile apps (iOS & Android)

User-friendly apps allow patients to view their health data, set medication reminders, and communicate with healthcare providers.

Hospital Workstations

Medical professionals can access real-time patient data and historical trends, facilitating informed decision-making.

Challenges

Traditional methods of monitoring patients remotely often involve infrequent check-ins and limited data collection. This system aimed to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive solution that covers security and network availability issues.

Continuous Health Data Collection

The system should gather vital signs like heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and activity data by utilizing wearable devices equipped with PPG sensors.

Real-time Data Transmission

Data should be securely transmitted to a cloud server hundreds of times per second, enabling constant monitoring.

Broadband Network Availability

Since the system should transmit data in real-time, we have to take into account broadband network availability and make sure the system accurately captures data even during off times.

Key features

Real-time data visualization

Patients can view their health trends and set personalized thresholds for critical parameters.

Actionable alerts

The system triggers notifications for patients and healthcare providers when readings fall outside pre-defined ranges.

Medication reminders

The app assists patients in adhering to their medication schedules.

Fitness tracking

The system tailors itself to exercise routines, providing valuable workout performance insights.

Secure data storage

Patient information adheres to strict HIPAA and GDPR regulations.

Core System Components
