Abstract: - An efficient bed availability tracking system is a crucial component in modern healthcare infrastructure, particularly in India where hospital bed scarcity is a major concern. Delays in accessing beds for treatment often lead to severe consequences, especially in rural areas. To address this issue, we propose a smart bed management system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology, load sensors, and a web-based interface. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on manual updates or basic IR sensors, our approach incorporates load sensors to accurately detect the presence or absence of a patient on a bed. These sensors are integrated with an Arduino microcontroller, which collects real-time data and transmits it to a central web server
