Abstract
Present paper provides effective explications for the problems faced in general wards of hospitals with the help of IoT. In hospitals, general wards are always filled with patients and busy with hectic schedules. General wards always need to be rigorous and take utmost care about patient safety. Few issues that are noticed at hospitals are a timely change of saline bottle of patient, power consumption, and air-quality issues. The issues which threaten patient safety are low air quality, fire accidents, and in some rare cases, vascular air embolism occurs. Since, hospital has got a hectic schedule, unnecessary power consumption increases. To increase patient safety, sensors are incorporated with the IoT to supervise the general wards continuously. This also helps hospital staff to save time and increase their work efficiency. The use of sensors and IoT to monitor environmental conditions can be beneficial to the hospital industry because it would not only improve the patient experience but also increase the staff flow by reducing time-consuming activities.
