HEALTH CARE MONITORING USING LIFI
Abstract
Manual patient monitoring by nursing personnel is the norm in hospitals and is done around the clock. It
takes a lot of people to keep track of the vitals of newborns and severely sick patients, therefore nursing homes often
struggle to meet demand. The patient's condition can deteriorate to a lethal state in the event of noncompliance or
postponement. Many wireless technologies have been suggested to monitor the patient's status using various
sensors; nevertheless, these schemes may interface with medical equipment and are detrimental to patients and
newborns. A Li-Fi based health monitoring system that continually displays the patient's vitals (heart rate,
temperature, respiration rate) on an LCD has been suggested as a way to create a hospital-friendly monitoring
system. Notification will be sent to the appropriate personnel in the event of any irregularities.
