The growing number of chronic diseases have stretched the health sector. Globally, over 36 million deaths per year are attributed to chronic diseases. This has increased the demand for telemedicine in managing chronic patients. The involvement of wireless sensor networks and cloud computing in the health sector is increasing due to the potential it possesses in remote monitoring applications. This project presents a developed system prototype for monitoring heartbeat and temperature of chronic patients using sensors. The monitored data is relayed to the cloud database in real time via internet connection using ESP8266 module. The approach involves connecting a heartbeat sensor, an MLX90614 contactless temperature sensor, LCD and an ESP8266 module to the Arduino board. The aim of this project was to create a system that relays chronic patient’s body temperature and heartbeat readings to medical personnel in an attempt to avert the effects of fewer health facilities in rural areas. The patient’s data in the cloud database can be retrieved by medical doctors anytime in order to track the patient’s condition. The sensed heartbeat and body temperature readings were processed, sent and received in the cloud database effectively. The readings were also displayed on the LCD for the patients to see. The developed system successfully fills the gap in providing doctors access to the patient’s data in a timely manner. It was concluded that sensor networks are effective in remote monitoring of the patient’s temperature and heartbeat readings and the data can be successfully sent to the cloud database.
