ABSTRACT: IoT in healthcare is a major component of giving patients improved medical facilities and supporting hospitals and professionals as well. The system being presented here is made up of numerous medical equipment, including sensors and web- or mobile-based applications, which communicate with one another across a network and support the monitoring and archiving of patient health data and medical information. The paper's suggested solution is to create a mechanism to supply world-class medical care can be provided to patients even in the most remote regions without access to hospitals by connecting online and learning about their health status through wearable devices included in the kit that use a raspberry pi microcontroller to record the patient's heart rate and blood pressure. In the event of a medical emergency, it would be wise for the system to tell the patient's doctor, family, and other relevant parties of their current health status.Data mining approaches that will also provide the approach that is helpful for decision-making can be utilised to assess and predict chronic disorders or other diseases such as heart attacks from the preliminary stage itself utilising the acquired data. KEY WORDS: Patient monitoring, the Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, and smart health monitoring. INTRODUCTION: The interconnection of gadgets, software, sensors, and network connectivity known as the "Internet of Things" improves the ability of these items to collect and share data. A patient is continuously monitored by examining numerous parameters, and the Internet of Things in the healthcare system also extrapolates a positive outcome from the past of such continuous monitoring. ICUs currently include a large number of these devices with medical sensors.Even with 24-hour monitoring, you may not be able to contact your doctor immediately in an emergency. Impairment may also be present in exchanging data and information with professionals and affected family members and relatives. Technologies to improve these functions are already available, but they are not available and affordable for most people in developing countries like India. So these solutions to these problems are just simple extensions of current devices that don't have these features. This white paper describes a remote health monitoring system controlled by a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a small, credit-card-sized, single-board microcontroller designed to improve basic computer science education in universities and developing countries. In this work, systems are being developed to continuously monitor important parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature. Information is stored in a cloud server database and can only be viewed by authorized personnel via our online website or mobile application. The idea may not be that new, but we propose an absolutely cheap way to system using a Raspberry Pi. The system's main purpose is to update data online, send notifications to doctors when something goes wrong, and predict whether a patient is sufferin
