Title: Wireless patient health monitoring and management system using iot and 6g technology

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present disclosure relates to smart healthcare systems, more particularly, a wireless patient health monitoring and management system using IoT and 6G Technology. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     In various cases, it has been observed that a patient may get complications during a treatment due to their prior treatments or current medicines. In few cases, the medical practitioners do not think about or forget to ask about prior and ongoing treatments of the patients and suggest a medication, which results in complications. Sometime, the patient also forgot to inform about his/her allergy, which results in side effect and other complications. 
     Traditionally, the medical practitioners and pharmacy shops either does not make any health record of a patient or record in a paper which is destroyed or misplaced with respect to time. However, when the patient visit for next treatment, he/she have to explain their health issues again which may result in gap in information exchange. 
     Currently, there is no system available in the market for providing patient health record management. In the view of the forgoing discussion, it is clearly portrayed that there is a need to have a wireless patient health monitoring and management system using IoT and 6G Technology.
