This paper will propose a smart radiation monitoring system that could help improve healthcare occupational safety by decreasing ionizing radiation. The system combines Geiger-Muller and semiconductor sensors with wireless communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi and the LoRaWAN interface, to monitor them in real time. The system offers immediate feedback through cloud-based dashboards and runs automatic alerts on exposure limits via IoT-based technologies. Stationary and wearable sensors positioned across several hospital departments had their real-time data processed and analyzed by machine learning schemes to identify abnormalities and predict exposure risks. In a pilot study, a 32.5% decline in worker exposure was observed after 30 days, reflecting the benefit of the system in enhancing radiation safety and compliance with international requirements regarding radiation protection.
