At the Narayana Health heart hospital of Bengaluru, the nurses now spend less time visiting patients ’beds to record each patient’s health information. A Livemint report says about 700 beds in the hospital have now been equipped with connected sensors that monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature and pulse. The information can then be transmitted to dedicated devices. & # XD;

These connected sensors are similar to the patches that are used for ECGs and are placed on the patient’s body to capture their vitality. Within these patches are the connected sensors that are connected to a real-time health monitoring system (RTHMS). The system is designed by the Indian arm of US technology giant Honeywell, which uses IoT technology to transmit data through the cloud. & # XD;
