Abstract

         The IoT is quickly emerging as the most revolutionary exciting technology available today. It is a computer procedure in which sensors are used to create or support communication. IoT has become particularly effective in the healthcare sector in recent years, helping to raise the standard of patient care. Giving every member health help is crucial because health problems are becoming more prevalent. Due to their hectic lives, people today often neglect to take care of their health. Some individuals don't even care for their health. The patient's digital identification has been maintained by the healthcare system, which only recently began to communicate with IoT devices. Because mobile apps have increased doctor-patient communication, IoT in healthcare has been increasingly effective in recent years. Companies create these apps so that doctors can keep tabs on their patients' health. If any problems emerge, the doctor approaches the patient and provides the necessary treatment. Parents' top worry is that their children will pass away at any moment; hence this thesis lays a specific emphasis on neonatal healthcare. Therefore, the traditional approaches to baby care are first explored in this thesis. The patient's health can then be monitored using an experimental setup that is then designed and put into action. A commercial product that continuously monitors a baby's heartbeat, oxygen levels and sleeping position has been found during this evaluation. If the infant has any issues, the information will get to the smartphone application, which was developed by a company and sold. The recorded data is then examined by conducting a sample field test on a baby. The mobile device receives data after analysis, and with help of a base station, processes it.
