Abstract
Wearable devices have a significant impact on society and recent advancements in modern sensor technologies are opening up new possibilities for healthcare applications. Continuous vital sign monitoring using IoT can be a crucial tool for emergency management, reducing risk in rescue operations and ensuring the safety of workers.The massive amounts of data, high network traffic, and computational demands of a typical IoT monitoring application can be challenging to manage with traditional infrastructure. Cloud computing provides a solution with its built-in resilience and elasticity capabilities.This article presents a cloud-based monitoring architecture for remote vital sign tracking of paramedics and medical workers through the use of a mobile wearable IoT device. It enables the management of ECG, breathing patterns, and other vital signs during work sessions, and sends real-time alarm events to a personnel management center. The platform was extensively used and tested in a large-scale monitoring application for tracking the activities of emergency room and ambulance workers, and the results of this testing are presented.
