In the present scenario the health problems are increasing proportionally to the busy work schedule of the doctors. So mostly there is a conflict of free time of the doctors and the patients. Hence an easy and a steadfast system is required in the current world where health can be given equal priority as work and the doctors are made easily accessible to the patients and which also reduces the time spent for getting and providing a medical appointment. Our paper proposes a method in order to meet up and overcome the above mentioned problems. Mobile apps have found their way into every individual's life and has become a part of it. So we developed a mobile health care system to fix appointments with doctors and for the doctors to maintain their patient's database in a matter of few touches. The doctors can register and maintain their patient's database and the patients can access any doctor from any place and fix an appointment. GPS connectivity is linked with the application to find the list of doctors nearby the location at emergencies or travel and prescriptions are sent from the one they choose, in case of direct visit, appointment to the Doctors are made by filtering the list for the needed specification or complaint. Doctors also can view their patient lists and schedule their tasks. An additional feature is that reminders are added at the time of prescriptions recording. Thus the Application acts as a portal facilitating people in their busy schedule to care their health without wasting their time.

In the sphere of medicine, IOT is meant to keep people safe and healthy plays a crucial part in communicating with doctors and patients through the use of health monitoring equipment and lowering healthcare costs in the future years. The internet of things (IoT) is making the world a smarter and more efficient village by allowing a variety of sensors and smart gadgets to gather and analyse data for a variety of reasons. As a result of these smart things, the healthcare system is growing wiser. When basic health facilities lack comprehensive medical care infrastructure, emerging countries gain. However, there is currently no specialized architecture for smart health units that can allow for this gathering and transferring patient health information to headquarters hospitals where live patient assistance is offered. Here, a smart IoT-based healthcare system is proposed, which includes a smart medical kit linked to sensors and a server for frequent health tracking. This smart medical kit is associated with sensors to measure the health parameters like body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate for the effective function of the body. The proposed idea can alert the patient and their relatives in case of any abnormalities in their health parameters and also get suggestions from the doctor without physical contact with the doctor.

Hospitals in the Philippines are overwhelmed and understaffed. Hence, it is inconvenient and challenging for the nurses to check patients' vital signs on time, and continuous patient monitoring, especially in-patient monitoring, is essential to measure and monitor the critical changes in the patient's status. The advent of technologies like medical sensors improved hospitals' health care and services. This study develops an innovative form of Remote Health Monitoring Device in the healthcare industry that makes use of modern sensor technologies. The developed health monitoring system makes use of an integrated combination of an Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B microprocessor, connected to three important sensors: a body temperature sensor, a heart/pulse rate sensor, and an oxygen rate sensor. These sensors attached to the glove continuously monitor the patient's vital signs. Through sensor-integrated gloves, the device scans the patient's fingertips to create a connection between the microcontrollers and a data server. These real-time parameters are updated and saved straight to the server, providing a constant flow of the patient's critical data. A healthcare professional's Android mobile device receives this signal right away, enabling prompt response to potential health issues. Any changes to the patient's vital signs are in the meantime continuously uploaded to the data server for additional analysis. By offering thorough, real-time health monitoring outside of conventional healthcare settings, this modern device promises to greatly increase patient care.
