Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT), the state-of-the-art technology, has recently started to enhance different industries and services. One of the few that are impacted by this technology are medicine and healthcare industries. The application of IoT in healthcare, in particular, is a major field attracting many researchers nowadays. The aim of this paper is to propose an IoT based system for monitoring multiple diseases using Cisco packet tracer tool. The achieve this aim, the system is divided into two parts. The first part deals with data collection and processing from sensors and microcontrollers. The second part deals with offered services such as disease diagnosis, medicine administration, and emergency responses. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system, three diseases are consider including hypertension, glaucoma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is also possible to incorporate other diseases.
