Abstract


Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare solution that uses technology to monitor patients outside conventional healthcare settings. It is especially useful for people with chronic conditions or needing regular monitoring. One of the main reasons for the increase in the number of deaths each year is the increase in cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. Online blood pressure monitoring offers many advantages but also potential challenges. This work reviews the key communication technologies and research challenges in the real-time transmission of measured blood pressure data. Delay in these systems is not tolerated as it involves human lives. To conduct the experimental studies, a prototype of an experimental intelligent system was created to study the delay and processor load of the RPI4 gateway. The measured blood pressure data is sent to the Things Board cloud using the AMQP and CoAP protocols. The experimental results are particularly useful for RPM system designers. The results of this research facilitate an informed decision on the choice of protocol that transmits the data from the gateway to the cloud in the process of designing remote patient monitoring systems.
