        abstract = {- In remote and disaster-affected regions, timely health monitoring and environmental assessment remain significant challenges due to limited access to medical infrastructure. This paper presents an IoT-driven drone system designed to monitor a patient’s heart rate and environmental conditions such as temperature and rainfall in real-time. The system integrates a Pulse Sensor, DHT11 temperature & humidity sensor, Rain Sensor Module, and DFPlayer Mini with an Arduino Uno to provide vital health data and environmental alerts remotely. Live pulse rate visualization is achieved using Python's Matplotlib for better understanding and analysis. The drone acts as a mobile platform, ensuring flexible deployment in inaccessible areas. Alerts are provided through a buzzer and audio prompts for immediate notification during abnormal conditions. The proposed system offers a cost-effective and portable solution for remote health monitoring, enhancing rapid response capabilities and enabling proactive healthcare support in critical scenarios.},
