Abstract
Wearable Health Monitoring System (WHMS) plays a major role in telemedicine research. The study explores Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable medical device that handles physiological signals, such as pulse rate and core body temperature along with activity monitoring. The indigenously developed nodes, such as sensor node, destination and relay nodes are successfully deployed in indoor environments. The cooperative wireless network is established and eventually empowered with IoT architecture. The hybrid wireless protocols, such as Radio-Frequency (RF), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are made to collaborate with each other efficiently and performance characteristics are analyzed. It is strongly envisaged that efficiency of existing wireless sensor network can be improved by integrating IoT architecture which is subsequently proved with the results obtained.
