In line with Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) technology, wireless communication is becoming essential in many modern applications, including health monitoring. As people lead increasingly busy lives and the elderly population grows, there is a rising need for efficient patient health monitoring systems. Many individuals neglect regular medical check-ups due to time constraints or the misconception that they are healthy if they don't feel sick. This study aims to develop a reliable health monitoring system to encourage proactive health management. By using sensors connected to an ESP32 microcontroller, the system captures vital signs such as oxygen saturation and body temperature, transmitting the data to a server via Wi-Fi. This real-time data is then displayed on a smartphone application, enabling continuous and convenient health monitoring for patients and general users.
