Abstract: 6. ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses an innovative healthcare monitoring system that integrates Visible Light Communication (VLC) with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enable real-time, high-speed, and interference-free transmission of patient data. Utilizing LED lighting for illumination and data communication, the system ensures energy-efficient and secure communication. Wearable sensors collect vital health metrics such as heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and ECG, and transmit the data via VLC to a centralized monitoring system. The IoT platform aggregates, analyzes, and stores the data, enabling remote diagnostics, real-time alerts, and early detection of health anomalies. This invention is particularly suitable for smart hospitals, elderly care, and home-based health monitoring.
Description:iv. Summary of Invention:
The invention provides an integrated IoT-VLC-based system for real-time health monitoring. The system comprises wearable biosensors attached to a patient, VLC-enabled communication modules utilizing LED lights, a data aggregation hub, and a cloud-based monitoring interface. The wearable sensors collect physiological parameters, which are transmitted using VLC to a local receiver. The IoT platform processes the information and transmits alerts or notifications to medical personnel if anomalies are detected.
