- Abstract
- This study investigates the design and implementation of an ad hoc IoT network integrating Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) to enhance Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in rural areas. The research addresses the challenges of communication, security, and resource constraints faced in these areas. A comprehensive literature review established a foundational framework for the proposed solution. The study successfully designed and implemented a robust network that facilitates efficient multi-hop communication and ensures secure patient data transmission. Testing of low-power protocols, specifically LoRa, demonstrated its suitability for continuous monitoring of patient vitals using wearable IoT devices. The findings indicate that the proposed system can significantly improve healthcare delivery in underserved communities, providing timely and reliable medical assistance. Recommendations for future research include optimizing communication protocols and enhancing data security measures.
