An internet of things-telemedicine platform empowered by 5G mobile networks for Tunisian Rural places

Abstract

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, offering new possibilities for remote healthcare delivery, the medicine sector has undergone significant advancements in recent years. New tools are used, and diagnostics have become more accurate. We suggest creating a platform that can be extended for several applications. This platform has been realized to attest and demonstrate how IoT technology offers devices that could be integrated to provide novel services like remote consultations. Our proposed platform contains novel functionalities such as real-time video calls, instantaneous messaging, live notifications, vital signs monitoring, and electronic health record access. This is accomplished with enhanced qualities of remote healthcare services. Added to this, healthcare access equity will be guaranteed. The paper emphasizes the potential of Laravel 11 as a framework offering powerful features for creating modern and high-performance applications. We have integrated Laravel Reverb, a powerful real-time communication package, to provide seamless real-time communication with users. With our application, notifications and interactions are dynamically created. This allows instant updates to delivery and engages the user experience. The database was designed based on the latest version of MySQL 8, coupled with the advanced capabilities of PHP 8.2. This combination provides unparalleled performance, scalability and reliability. Added to that, IoT’s technology usage helps to improve healthcare access and delivery, especially in underserved areas. Human and machine cooperation is a main factor of the 5th industry level. This is widely respected by our platform. This offers great help, especially for those isolated and underserved areas, as we hope.
