Development of a Scalable IoT-Enabled Healthcare Platform for Patient Management and Monitoring

The organization faces difficulties in managing patient appointments, tracking health data, and maintaining continuous patient-doctor communication due to COVID-19 restrictions. Manual record-keeping and limited digital infrastructure hinder effective health management, leading to increased wait times, higher operational costs, and potential medical errors.

A healthcare organization providing specialized outpatient services, seeking to enhance patient engagement, reduce treatment durations, and improve health outcomes through digital innovation.

• Implement an IoT-enabled platform to facilitate real-time patient monitoring and appointment management.
• Achieve a 43% increase in patient footfall within the first quarter post-launch.
• Reduce treatment journey durations and improve patient health outcomes.
• Lower healthcare operational costs and minimize medical errors through digital workflows.
• Enable interoperability across existing healthcare systems to streamline data flow.
• Enhance patient engagement by providing upload and access to examination reports via mobile devices.

• IoT-based health data capture using Bluetooth beacons and GPS functionality for patient tracking.
• Middleware to facilitate interoperability among multiple healthcare systems and data sources.
• Patient mobile application for viewing examination reports, appointment status, and health updates.
• Unique waiting number generation system tied to real-time location and device data to streamline patient flow.
• Admin panel for scheduling, duty roster management, doctor onboarding, and calendar view.

• Healthcare information systems for data interoperability
• Mobile device GPS and Bluetooth interfaces
• Existing appointment booking and electronic health records (EHR) systems

• System scalability to handle large patient data volume during peak hours
• High availability and reliability to support continuous patient monitoring
• Data security and compliance with healthcare data regulations
• Response time under 2 seconds for report and appointment updates
• Robust integration capability with external healthcare systems

The implementation of the IoT-enabled platform is projected to increase patient footfall by 43% within the first quarter, significantly improve health outcomes through streamlined treatment journeys, and reduce healthcare costs and medical errors. The digital transformation aims to enhance overall population health management and patient satisfaction while optimizing operational efficiencies.
