Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning are transforming healthcare by enabling real-time physiological data collection through wearable and implantable medical devices (IWMDs). This innovation allows healthcare providers to analyze routine and clinical settings, identify patterns, and predict health outcomes beyond traditional medical environments. IoT-based comatose patient monitoring systems utilize sensors to track vital parameters such as blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, oxygen levels, and brain activity. The collected data is processed by an embedded microcontroller and transmitted through Wi-Fi to a cloud platform, where healthcare providers receive real-time alerts through web dashboards or mobile applications. By integrating machine learning techniques, the system enhances prediction accuracy and enables timely interventions, replacing passive data collection with proactive decision- making, thereby improving patient care. These technologies mark a significant breakthrough in healthcare, offering continuous patient monitoring and early detection of complications. By facilitating rapid diagnosis and treatment for various medical conditions, they enhance the standard of care for critically ill patients and have the potential to improve public health on a broader scale. As these innovations continue to evolve, they may revolutionize healthcare by increasing both the efficiency and accessibility of high-quality medical care.

Abstract

This study seeks to develop an innovative and robust solution to minimize the risks of fire outbreaks in agricultural areas. Leveraging the capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT), this system provides continuous, real-time monitoring of farmland conditions to enable early detection of fire hazards. A network of interconnected sensors is strategically deployed across the farmland to measure environmental parameters such as temperature, and smoke levels. These sensors transmit the collected data to a central control unit, which is processed by an advanced algorithm designed to detect potential fire threats. Upon detection, the system triggers an automatic response using relays that activate fire suppression mechanisms such as sprinkler systems or water pumps using motors, effectively containing and preventing the spread of fire. Additionally, the system includes a display module that provides real-time alerts and updates to farmers and relevant authorities, ensuring they can take immediate action when necessary. This solution not only enhances safety but also reduces crop damage and financial losses by addressing fire threats before they escalate.
