12.2.3.2 HELYXON® Health Care Solutions, Chennai
The CEO of this center has been in the healthcare industry for more than 29 years. They
are at the IIT-Madras Research Park in Chennai addressing medical gadgets and software
needs of the country.
12.2.4 Why Do We Need to Choose “Child Health”?
Simple, everybody likes children. Not even a criminal would bear to see a child suffering.
Beyond the emotional aspect, child health is complicated by several factors. And, in the
first year of life, children are brought to the hospital four to seven times for immunization
purposes alone. Moreover, children tend to fall sick often, from 6 to 18 months of life.
12.2.5 Use of Wearable Computational Medical Devices by Paramedical Workers
HELYXON ® has built the capability to develop Bluetooth-based IoT product for monitoring body temperature continuously from remote, called FEVERWATCH ® . Though called
as FEVERWATCH ® , it is opposite; hypothermia monitoring is vital in the new born period,
and this instrument can save lives in those situations.
1. The instrument consists of an IoT sensor, cloud server, and a smart application,
which works on any iOS/android mobile devices, like phone, pod, pad, etc.
2. The sensor is attached to the body of the baby using a plaster at the appropriate location and it can accurately measure body temperature and communicate
the  same to the application on the mobile device through Bluetooth (Bluetooth
version 4.0/Bluetooth low energy: BLE).
3. The data are continuously recorded at the sensor and application, and data/alert
is sent to a remotely monitoring person via cloud server. Figure 12.3 schematically
represents this fact.
