Abstract

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and intelligent automation has significantly transformed modern healthcare systems. Real-time vital sign monitoring using IoT-enabled devices provides continuous observation of physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Traditional healthcare monitoring systems often fail to provide immediate responses during emergencies due to delayed data transmission and lack of intelligent decision-making mechanisms. This research proposes an integrated IoT-based intelligent healthcare framework capable of continuous patient monitoring and automated emergency response. The proposed architecture combines wearable biosensors, cloud computing, edge intelligence, and automated alert systems to improve patient safety and reduce response time in critical situations. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the system through simulation-based analysis involving 100 virtual patients monitored over a 30-day observation period. Parameters such as data latency, emergency detection accuracy, response time, and system reliability were analyzed. Results indicate that the proposed system achieves 96.8% emergency detection accuracy with average response latency below 2.1 seconds. Intelligent automation reduced emergency response time by approximately 42% compared to conventional hospital monitoring methods. The integration of AI-based predictive analytics further improved anomaly detection efficiency and reduced false alarms. The study demonstrates the feasibility of IoT-driven healthcare systems for smart hospitals, elderly care, home healthcare, and remote patient monitoring applications.
