Abstract: In this study, we designed a blind inpatient monitoring system connected to Raspberry Pi 2 that supports the IoT (Internet of Things) based on windows. The proposed inpatient monitoring system helps the doctors to make effective rounds. Especially, patients with blindness can press the button connected to the Raspberry Pi to store their condition in the patient database. We designed blind patients to communicate their condition to a doctor or nurse through four buttons. All patients have one Raspberry Pi, so they communicate with buttons, microphones and earphones connected to the Raspberry Pi. We designed doctors and nurses to check the status of patients through the Android app in real time. We also added a macro function in our system to easily register frequently-sent messages from patients. In this system, patients can register daily status by individual date and doctors can access the web server and monitor the patient’s condition in real time through the web and the app. Therefore, it is designed to enable stable system operation.
