Abstract: This paper presents a secure IOT-based health monitoring system that shortens the distance between a patient and the relevant medical organization. Vital signals captured from sensors are processed and encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm before sending to the cloud for storage. A Node MCU microcontroller is utilized to carry out the processing and encryption functions, and for providing connectivity to the cloud over WiFi. In addition, a medical specialist can visualize the private health data in real time only after providing decryption credentials. Moreover, the proposed system provides an alert by sending an email to some patient relatives or coordinating specialist if vital signs are outside the normal rates. The proposed system provides privacy, security, and real-time connectivity for private health data records.
Keywords: Secure Health Monitoring, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Node MCU microcontroller AES Encryption
