  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.

  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.
