Abstract

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is transmitted by female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser extent. There is no specific treatment for dengue, but early detection and access to proper medical care lowers fatality rates below 1%. Monitoring the patient’s temperature, heartbeat and body fluid volume is critical to severe dengue care. Regular body temperature and heart pulse check are important to prevent dehydration and irregular heart rate pattern. Negligence of this regular check- up may lead to even more severe dengue fever and even lead to fatality if there is no intensive care. However, to constantly monitor both temperature and heartbeat of the patient in a short period interval requires a load of labour and can waste much disposable equipment during the check-up. In this era, IoT is a smart approach to overcome this situation. The nurse who is taking care of the patients can monitor the patient’s status in a real-time situation using the approach of IoT, mobile application and web-based system. If the patient’s status is in a critical situation, the system will alert the nurses for them to perform a necessary procedure.
