The healthcare industry has been transformed by the Internet of Things (IoT), which provides individuals with new and enhanced experiences through the use of interconnected devices and sensors. In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), monitoring patients' vital signs is critical, as even the slightest delay in making treatment decisions can result in permanent disability or death. However, manual monitoring can become a daunting and nearly impossible task, particularly when dealing with multiple patients, making it challenging to provide real-time updates on health parameters such as temperature, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, blood pressure, and heart rate. The LoRa-based system offers a solution to automate the monitoring process, enabling constant and accurate monitoring and updating of patient data. The project aims to utilize the LoRa wireless system to transmit data from sensors to a cloud or computer to create a smart and connected environment. IoT-based smart healthcare is an essential application of the Internet of Things, where sensors attached to the patient's body gather health data transmitted through a secure communication channel provided by a LoRaWAN network architecture to a data analysis module. This innovative health monitoring strategy leverages the capabilities of the IoT to provide efficient and effective medical care. The ARDUINO-UNO board acts as a microcontroller, and Cloud computing concept is used to store and analyze the collected data, enabling further evaluation and decision-making.
