Abstract – Health always has been primary need of every human being. The growing population and the storing every records of every patients is becoming hectic and storage problem to every Hospitals. In these last recent years of development in medical technologies of sensors and embedded system.

We proposed a medical diagnosis system to read patients body temperature, blood pressure, ECG and heart beat which all the sensors will be set up on the glove and which will be wore by the doctors of every hospital around the world, and with processed patient id for further data access for the organisation or the medical company. And the microcontroller will send the patient data to the hospital database and moreover data inquiry to government and World Health Organisation to process data with intelligence

This glove is be washable and reusable with provided sensors safety and necessary covering, and even sensors can be easily replaceable from the wearable glove, through this technology doctor and can access the old data of the patient that is stored in the hospital database. And look into the patient diagnosed data, doctor can easily gets idea about what disease he/she has previously met with.

1. INTRODUCTION

   The Medical Glove is a device proposed for doctors, which is based on Internet of Things architecture, in this era of automation and technology. Doctors are still finding difficulty in storing and maintaining data of every single patients. Still the old methods of storing records and papers is a hectic job to the Medical organization. And even checking patient body temperature, beat per minute, blood pressure and electro- cardiogram is a lengthy job and storing the data and keeping it in a safe manner becomes difficult to both patients and the doctors. And these days sometimes disease recognition is a difficult task, through Medicore IRIS-XP Digital Infrared Imaging system the disease recognition like cancer and body pain recognition becomes easy task. The Medicore IRIS-XP will be connected with Medical Glove through Wi-Fi.

   The Medical Glove consists of sensors which is placed on the fingers tip of the glove. Many sensor technologies used in industry can be applied in medicine, and in the future, as unique sensors and sensor dependent microelectromechanical systems are designed and tested, non-medical industries will adapt them for industrial applications. Within the medical world there is a

   broadening intersection between information technology and biotechnology, and increasingly the role of sensors, signal transducers. As for the size that can we placed on the glove, it will only consist of three primary sensors. The LM35 sensor for body temperature monitoring, the pulse sensor for heat beat monitoring and the ECG sensor on the tip of the fingers. And the Medicore IRIS- XP which will be in the clinic of the doctor and even interfaced with the Gloves screen, to easily view the data and recognize the disease on the doctors hand, it can further store with the patients id for easy data storage and digital report can also be send through a social media platforms or through emails.

   Flow through the second phase this glove will get smarter and smarter day by day with the help of Artificial Intelligence. The data of the patient will be process through certain algorithm with the help of the doctors using previous data and diseases they have claimed through it, through Machine Learning the glove with get more accurate results and will provide better solution to the doctors. The Medical Glove will also suggest the doctor which medicine does a patient should take, this glove will bridge a gap between the machine and doctors around the world for a proper treatment, if the doctor isnt able to take the case he can connect to the other doctor and solve the disease.

   The IoT has come a long way in recent years and is well integrated within multiple industries, including the healthcare space. The continued implementation of IoT within healthcare will lead to a drastic increase in productivity and analysis of data. Advancements in technology in regard to medical devices will improve patient outcomes with better analytics, and Global Data believes the IoT will expedite this process.

   This paper demonstrates about the Medical Glove IoT device which is specially designed for doctors for many purposes such as disease recognition through infrared thermal image processing, and to diagnosed the patient data and to store it to the cloud server or the hospital database, through the medical data certain Artificial Intelligence algorithm will be processed based on previous data of patient and the disease will get a better accuracy through the similarity over the prior patient with the same or similar case.

2. RELATED WORK

   Till todays date there are many innovative technologies developing right now in this world.

   Medical Intelligence is the most important factor. There are many researches is going into the process monitoring of health condition at home is important for an effective scheme for early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as adiposis, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. While many commercially available devices for home health care monitoring are widely used, those are cumbersome in terms of self-attachment of biological sensors and self-operation of them.

   Dimitrov et al Internet of Things (IoT) and appropriated registering expect a crucial activity in the present Tele-watching prosperity system. This structure screens patient's physiological parameters through arrangement of body sensors' data using Arduino Lily pad board.

They have categorised the architecture into three layers based on the functionality of the components being used. First layer is Perception layer at the bottom consist of sensors which collect data. Then. Middleware and APIs layer is the pivotal layer consisting of various APIs(application programming interfaces). The third layer is e-health application and service layer is a terminal layer offering outsourcing services for the monitored data [4].

   Tyagi et al.

   Sahoo et al. Studied the healthcare management system and about the large amount of patient data that is generated from various reports. They further analyzed the health parameters to predict the future health conditions of the patient or the said subject. They use a cloud based big data analytic platform to achieve the same using the means of probability [6].

   Xu et al. Presented a data model to record and use the IoT data. They designed and developed a resource- based Ubiquitous Data accessing method to collect and publish IoT data globally to so that it can be accessed anywhere, anytime. They also present an emergency medical service based on IoT and how to collect and use the IoT data on different platforms [7].

   Dwivedi et al. Developed a framework in order to secure the clinical information that has to be transmitted over the internet for Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems in which they propose a multi-layered healthcare information system framework which is a combination of Public Key Infrastructure, Smartcard and Biometrics technologies [8].

3. LM-35 (Temperature Sensor)

   LM35 is a temperature measuring device having an analog output voltage proportional to the temperature. It provides output voltage in Centigrade (Celsius). It does not require any external calibration circuitry. The sensitivity of LM35 is 10 mV/degree Celsius. As temperature increases, output voltage also increases. E.g. 250 mV means 25°C. It is a 3-terminal sensor used to measure surrounding temperature ranging from -55 °C to 150 °C. LM35 gives temperature output which is more precise than thermistor output.

4. Pulse Sensor

The working of the Pulse/Heart beat sensor is very simple. The sensor has two sides, on one side the LED is placed along with an ambient light sensor and on the other side we have some circuitry. This circuitry is responsible for the amplification and noise cancellation work. The LED on the front side of the sensor is placed over a vein in our human body. This can either be your Finger tip or you ear tips, but it should be placed directly on top of a vein.

1. BP Sensor

   Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats). The measurement is written one above r before the other, with the systolic number on top and the diastolic number on the bottom. For example, a blood pressure measurement of 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is expressed verbally as 120 over 80.
