IoT Healthcare: Design of Smart and Cost-Effective Sleep Quality Monitoring System

الملخص EN

Getting quality sleep is important for every person to get better physical health.

Irregular sleep patterns may indicate the illness resulting in chronic depression, which makes the evaluation of the sleep cycle mandatory for a healthy body and mind.

In the arena of globalization, along with the increased facilities, various other challenges have been probed to provide the quality health care facilities with the use of economical instruments and technology.

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology purports the preambles to build a consistent and cost-effective system to monitor the sleep quality of patients.

Several other systems are available for this purpose; however, such systems are very costly and difficult to implement.

To overcome the issue, this study suggests an inventive system to monitor and analyze the sleep patterns using ambient parameters.

The proposed system is effective enough that it can proficiently monitor patient’s sleep using Commercial off the Shelf (COS) sensors as well as predicts the results using the intelligent capability of the random forest model.

The patient’s bio status including physical movement of the body, heartbeat, SPO2 level (oxygen saturation in the blood for the proper functioning of the body), and snoring patterns could be measured through this system, in which recorded data is transmitted to the computer system in a real-time environment.

This system consists of two parts.

One part consists of analyzing the behavior of data using the intelligent technique of the random forest model and decision rules in a real-time environment.

This real-time analysis notifies the caretaker about the situation of the patient.

In the second part, batch data processing is performed which allows the detailed analysis of data using statistical methods to produce the overall condition of the patient in a specified interval of time.

Through the proposed system, we can easily measure the sleep patterns of patients and provide them with better treatment by using this simple and cost-effective system.

The result of the conducted research shows that the proposed technique provides 95% accuracy.

The patient’s sleep data is used to test this method through the validation of manual results, which provides the minimum error rate.

This study highlights the implementation of an intelligent and smart sleep quality monitoring system using IoT on a variant number of people with minimum expense rate.
