Diseño e implementación de módulo didáctico IOT aplicado a telemedicina con hardware de bajo costo y servicios web en la nube

Abstract

The technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) and web servers in the cloud are indispensable in the development of technological societies of the XXI century, large cities are implementing this type of technologies applied to different industries one of them is telemedicine, for the improvement of processes in health, remote access to long distance and information management that allow decision making in opportune times and can reduce economic costs, saving time, energy costs and above all saving people's lives. In this context, a prototype of a didactic module of telemedicine applied to the Internet of Things is proposed that together with hardware such as ESP32, Olimex and web services in the AWS cloud (Amazon Web Services) and Ubidots can monitor vital signs such as the EKG heart rate, blood oxygenation, body temperature, body weight and webcam monitoring which will serve for the remote check of a person at a distance feeding a database and through a web application visualize data for making future decisions in the health of a patient. For this research work, a prototype of telemedicine is proposed, consisting of a didactic bench of six practices that will be used by students of the electronic engineering and automation career, students of the biomedicine career or by students of the telecommunications engineering career of the Salesian Polytechnic University Guayaquil headquarters for the complementation of their professional development and preparation for the labor field within telemedicine and the Internet of Things by applying electronics, programming and web server tools in the cloud such as Ubidots and AWS that allow obtaining, recording and monitoring the data obtained by patients during prototyping practices and tests.
