Abstract

Telemedicine has emerged as a vital component of contemporary healthcare, revolutionizing the way medical services are delivered and accessed (e.g., it enables patients living in underserved or rural areas to receive medical consultation and treatment remotely). Moreover, telemedicine plays a pivotal role in improving healthcare efficiency by reducing wait times, minimizing unnecessary hospital visits, and optimizing resource allocation. In this paper, we present HealthTracker, a monitoring infrastructure for patients comprising two Internet of Things (IoT) devices (one of which was designed and created by us) and a mobile app that sends data collected by the IoT devices to a cloud service. All these components work together to provide an innovative system able to monitor patient health condition, provide alerts in emergency cases, and elaborate upon data to improve the quality of medical care. Preliminary tests show that the system works well, and real experimentation will start soon in collaboration with the local health authority.
