IoT is a modern technology that plays a great role in Healthcare domain to provide better and latest services for a patient who is located at far apart from Healthcare centers. IoT technology can be applied to minimize the problems of accessing healthcare centers physically by offering better access and usage with limited number of resources. This paper proposes an innovative system that monitor remote patients healthy with the benefits of wearable sensors monitor ECG, HR, skin Temperature, Blood Pressure and establish follow up appointment reminder system based on patient’s parameters captured values. Applying security mechanism for protecting an individual’s data during transferred between devices and display healthcare center which is close to patient to get quickly treatment are our key contribution in this paper.
