Abstract

Asthma is a chronic illness that causes improper respiratory organ function and breathing problems. Three hundred fifty million people worldwide have bronchial asthma, or one in 12 adults. Self-monitoring is the first step in managing chronic illness. This lets doctors and people monitor and address health conditions in real-time. Telemonitoring is a phrase used in IT to remotely monitor the health of patients who are not in hospitals or medical centers. Wearable medical sensors, such as IoT-based remote asthma and blood pressure sensors, capture real-time information from remotely located patients. The medical information is then transmitted through the Internet for medical diagnosis and therapy. Classical Spirometry measures how effectively a patient's lungs function and requires supervision. We want to support impacted patients; thus, we built a monitoring system. With sensors including heartbeat, dust, temperature, and humidity, the device will collect health-related data and upload it to the cloud, helping doctors diagnose patients. This study uses private cloud computing to track and monitor real-time medical information in approved areas. In addition, the private cloud-based environment called a bounded telemonitoring system is meant to capture real-time medical details of patients in the medical centers inside and outside medical wards. In addition, a new wireless sensor network scenario is intended to monitor patients' health information 24/7. This research secures medical information access and guides future medical system development.
