Abstract
Home based Telehealth is a combination of communications, imaging, sensing and human computer interaction technologies targeted at diagnosis, treatment and monitoring patients without disturbing the quality of lifestyle. This paper proposes development of a low cost medical sensing, communication and analytics device that is real-time monitoring internet enabled patients physiological conditions. Internet of Things (IoT) network will provide active and real-time engagement of patient, hospitals, caretaker and doctors. Massaging and synchronising the system has been the based focus in this paper, where it applies the suggested algorithm to predict the minimum time period that separates two consecutive bursts of messages and measures the minimum queue sizes for the health care personals nods, to manage the traffic and avoid the dropping of messages. NS2 simulator was employed to simulate the Telehealth environment algorithm.
