| description | The Monit4Healthy system is an IoT-enabled health monitoring solution designed to address critical challenges in real-time biomedical signal processing, energy efficiency, and data transmission. The system’s modular design merges wireless communication components alongside a number of physiological sensors, including galvanic skin response, electromyography, photoplethysmography, and EKG, to allow for the remote gathering and evaluation of health information. In order to decrease network load and enable the quick identification of abnormalities, edge computing is used for real-time signal filtering and feature extraction. Flexible data transmission based on context and available bandwidth is provided through a hybrid communication approach that includes Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi. Under typical monitoring scenarios, laboratory testing shows reliable wireless connectivity and ongoing battery-powered operation. The Monit4Healthy system is appropriate for scalable deployment in connected health ecosystems and portable health monitoring due to its responsive power management approaches and structured data transmission, which improve the resiliency of the system. The system ensures the reliability of signals whilst lowering latency and data volume in comparison to conventional cloud-only systems. Limitations include the requirement for energy profiling, distinctive hardware miniaturizing, and sustained real-world validation. By integrating context-aware processing, flexible design, and effective communication, the Monit4Healthy system complements existing IoT health solutions and promotes better integration in clinical and smart city healthcare environments. |
