DEVELOPMENT OF A REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a system that enables healthcare providers to monitor and manage patients' health remotely, using various monitoring devices, sensors, and communication technologies. This approach has gained widespread attention in recent years due to its potential to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance patient satisfaction. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the key technologies used for RPM systems. The aim of this study is to develop a remote patient monitoring system using wireless sensor networks. The system consists of several sensor nodes that are placed on the patient's body to collect physiological data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. The sensor nodes are connected to a gateway node that aggregates the data and transmits it to a remote server for analysis and storage. The system also includes a user interface that enables healthcare providers to view the patient's health status and receive alerts in case of abnormal conditions.
