RFID Technology for IoT-Based Personal

Healthcare in Smart Spaces

Introduction:

The current evolution of the traditional medical model toward the participatory medicine
can be boosted by the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm involving sensors (environmental,
wearable, and implanted) spread inside domestic environments with the purpose to monitor the
user’s health and activate remote assistance. RF identification (RFID) technology is now mature
to provide part of the IoT physical layer for the personal healthcare in smart environments
through low-cost, energy-autonomous, and disposable sensors. It is here presented a survey on
the state-of the- art of RFID for application to body centric systems and for gathering
information (temperature, humidity, and other gases) about the user’s living environment. Many
available options are described up to the application level with some examples of RFID systems
able to collect and process multichannel data about the human behavior in compliance with the
power exposure and sanitary regulations. Open challenges and possible new research trends are
finally discussed.

and aged people, and don’t need any
special training.
Working Principle:

In this system, with the use of PIC16f877a microcontrollers, we have designed the
system that can check patient bio-parameters without the presence of the nurse. In this system the
movements and trajectories of the user, in daily and sleep conditions, recognize critical events
and emit alarms. To find the current location of the patient here we using Wearable RFID tags.
The user RFID tag and RFID based temperature (fever) sensor attach with patient body. RFID
readers placed in each room to find the navigation of the patient. In the living room section the
controller interfaced with Heart rate sensor, Heart rate sensor, bed sensor, gas sensor and Zigbee.
When the patient located in living room it measure the heart rate of him. With help of Gas sensor
air monitoring is also useful in common spaces with the purpose to avoid the inhalation of
anesthetic gases. Bed sensor is placed on the bed to detect weather the patient situated on bed or
not. The sensed values continuously updated in monitoring section through the Zigbee. In the
control section the received information updated in webpage with help of .Net. We can monitor
the patient from remote places by surfing website.
