Innovative technology approaches have been increasingly investigated for the last two decades aiming at human-being long-term monitoring. It’s difficult to check parameters like Blood pressure, heart beat, temperature, Oxygen level, etc., in day to day life whenever needed. To make easy we are going to design and construct an IOT based patient health monitoring system using Arduino and generic ESP8266. The main aim of this paper is to supervise the patients and the elderly people at their home itself. By doing this, unwanted visit to the hospital can be avoided. The system was developed to supervise the vital signs such as temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and fall detection. The system design consists of an Arduino controller and ESP8266 module. The monitored values can be sent through the IOT. In case of regular checkup there is no need for the patient to go and meet the doctor or physician with the proposed system. The proposed project can collect and send patient’s health data to an IOT cloud server such as Thing-Speak where real time health status of the patient can be recorded and monitored in a remote location where a healthcare professional is present.
