Abstract
Telemedicine is the abstract term used to define medical services delivered through Information Technology and Telecommunications. With the growing advancements in the field of data mining, pattern recognition, expert systems, and image processing, the motivation of such a technology has increased. This allowed Telemedicine to be a stable solution especially because people are starting to trust the system more for its higher accuracy. This paper proposes a Telemedicine platform between the patient and the doctor. This platform belongs to the internet of medical things (IoMT) by enabling multiple medical sensors to connect to a server either using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GSM technologies. Moreover, wearable and implanted electronics can be integrated with the proposed system as well. The system collects data from several sensors and sends them using one of the aforementioned technologies using an Arduino Board, Matlab, and C#. Furthermore, a comparative study between the three communications technologies used to connect the medical sensors to the server is investigated. A recommendation of the best suited technology is provided with regard to the nature of the application itself.
