Abstract

We described an innovative solution for treatment and healthcare of a patient in hospitals and clinics by collecting some information from previous research where the patient needs a quick response on the basis of precise, accurate and reliable results. We are talking about a system for 24/7 monitoring of patient’s health and vital signs and also can keep a record of all the data with less human efforts. Using wearable biosensor devices and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in combination with algorithms for an intelligent system to sense, analyze, display, record and alarm/alert in real time. We have described the system and its applications for smart hospitals to work more efficiently, fast, more reliable with precision, accuracy and time saving more remarkable increase the ratio for lifesaving and life expectancy rather than other conventional methods adopted for healthcare used in hospitals.

Keywords: Healthcare, hospitals, clinics, biosensors, ICT.
