Human activities and traditional network infrastructure can be severely disrupted when natural disasters strike, making it difficult to maintain continuous connectivity. While natural calamities are beyond human control, their aftermath can be mitigated. In this context, ad hoc networks offer a promising solution as they do not rely on predetermined end-to-end connectivity. Following a natural disaster, providing emergency medical care to victims becomes imperative and can help save lives. This study introduces a post-disaster emergency health monitoring system capable of monitoring multiple health parameters such as ECG, body temperature, blood pulse rate, and blood oxygen levels. The system uses an ad hoc network to store and forward this data to a server. In cases where Internet connectivity is available, the data can be transmitted to the server using the Internet of Things (IoT) concept.

摘要

Human activities and traditional network infrastructure can be severely disrupted when natural disasters strike, making it difficult to maintain continuous connectivity. While natural calamities are beyond human control, their aftermath can be mitigated. In this context, ad hoc networks offer a promising solution as they do not rely on predetermined end-to-end connectivity. Following a natural disaster, providing emergency medical care to victims becomes imperative and can help save lives. This study introduces a post-disaster emergency health monitoring system capable of monitoring multiple health parameters such as ECG, body temperature, blood pulse rate, and blood oxygen levels. The system uses an ad hoc network to store and forward this data to a server. In cases where Internet connectivity is available, the data can be transmitted to the server using the Internet of Things (IoT) concept.
