PHP and MQTT: Real-time data transmission for building smart health monitoring systems

With the continuous development of smart technology, smart health monitoring systems have become an increasingly popular field. In such systems, real-time data transmission is important because it allows doctors and patients to directly obtain and analyze health data. This article will introduce how to use PHP and MQTT protocols to build real-time data transmission for intelligent health monitoring systems.

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight message transmission protocol that is suitable for transmitting data over unreliable network connections. Due to its low overhead and low bandwidth requirements, MQTT has become the protocol of choice for many IoT applications.

First, we need to set up an MQTT server so that PHP applications can connect and send and receive messages through it. We can use the open source Mosquitto MQTT server, which provides an easy way to set up and run an MQTT server.

Install the Mosquitto MQTT server:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients

After the installation is complete, we can start the Mosquitto MQTT server:

$ mosquitto -v

Now that we have a running MQTT server, next We can write PHP code to send and receive data.

Send data:

<?php
require("phpMQTT.php");

$broker = "localhost"; // MQTT服务器的IP地址
$port = 1883; // MQTT服务器的端口
$client_id = "phpmqtt_" . uniqid(); // PHP应用程序的唯一标识符

$mqtt = new phpMQTT($broker, $port, $client_id);

if ($mqtt->connect()) {
    $topic = "healthdata"; // 发布主题
    $message = "心率: 75 bpm"; // 发布消息

    $mqtt->publish($topic, $message, 0);

    $mqtt->close();
} else {
    echo "连接到MQTT服务器失败!";
}
?>

Receive data:

<?php
require("phpMQTT.php");

$broker = "localhost"; // MQTT服务器的IP地址
$port = 1883; // MQTT服务器的端口
$client_id = "phpmqtt_" . uniqid(); // PHP应用程序的唯一标识符

$mqtt = new phpMQTT($broker, $port, $client_id);

if ($mqtt->connect()) {
    $topic = "healthdata"; // 订阅主题

    $mqtt->subscribe($topic, 0);

    while ($mqtt->proc()) {
        // 接收消息的回调函数
        $received_message = $mqtt->message;
        echo $received_message;

        // 在这里进行进一步的处理和分析
    }

    $mqtt->close();
} else {
    echo "连接到MQTT服务器失败!";
}
?>

In the above code example, we use the phpMQTT library to simplify the process of MQTT connection and communication. In the example of sending data, we publish a message to a specific topic by calling the publish function. In the example of receiving data, we subscribe to a specific topic by calling the subscribe function and process the received message through the callback function.

By using PHP and MQTT, we can easily realize real-time data transmission in intelligent health monitoring systems. Doctors and patients can obtain and analyze health data in real time through this system, and make corresponding decisions and actions.

I hope this article will help you build real-time data transmission for intelligent health monitoring systems!
