IoT Health Monitor
Managing respiratory conditions requires consistent medication adherence, and the swift advancement of smart healthcare solutions has rendered accurate inhaler usage monitoring essential for patient welfare and treatment compliance. However, traditional methods often result in missed doses, overdosing, or improper medication use, increasing health risks for patients.
To address this gap, we created an IoT-based BLE solution that interfaces effortlessly with smart inhalers to monitor medication adherence, deliver prompt reminders, and archive usage data in the Azure Cloud. This system improves patient involvement, guarantees medical compliance, and equips healthcare practitioners with real-time data, transforming the management of respiratory care through technology.

About Project
Enhancing medication adherence and inhaler usage tracking, the IoT-based BLE Inhaler Medication Tracker integrates a BLE-enabled sensor with a mobile application for seamless monitoring and management. This solution integrates BLE technology, mobile applications, and Azure Cloud IoT, where the sensor pairs with the app via Core Bluetooth to retrieve actuation data, store it in SQLite, and sync it securely to Azure Cloud for seamless access and monitoring.
Users can track medication intake, receive dose reminders, and securely store usage history for better treatment adherence. Built using Core Bluetooth, SQLite, and Azure Cloud, the system ensures seamless data synchronization and remote monitoring.
Additionally, Azure API Management enables data sharing with healthcare providers and third-party medical platforms, offering a comprehensive approach to medication management. By bridging the gap between patients, doctors, and technology, this IoT-driven solution enhances health outcomes and simplifies medication tracking.
