Overview of the mobile phone-based Internet of Things (mIoT) platform. Physiological parameters are collected from a patient and transmitted through Bluetooth to the patient’s mobile terminal. It is further transmitted from the mobile device to the mIoT platform via WiFi or the third generation (3G) network. The platform software analyzes data and yields results, which are stored in the system and transmitted to the physician’s mobile terminals. Medical staff may then modify the results and provide feedback to patients. Patients, general practitioners in community hospitals, and specialists in medical centers may communicate via mobile terminals.
