Abstract :
Human Health Monitoring has gained much
importance in the recent years with the advent of the
new and novel diseases. It has become very difficult to
monitor the vital signs of humans at a regular basis due
to the increasing population and the relative number of
physicians to deal with enormous population. Our
purpose is to design a device which measures the vital
signs of humans and send them to the server for the
physician for monitoring. This project will also send a
message containing the location co-ordinates of the
patient to the caregiver mobile number in the case of
emergency. For this purpose, we will be using IoT
platform namely ‘Blynk’ to show the vital signs of the
patient for the physician to monitor them remotely. IoT
is a technology which transforms the medical data into
insights for smarter patient care. The sensors which we
used are temperature sensor, SPO2 sensor, ECG sensor
along with Arduino Nano. The Node-MCU will connect
the micro-controller with the WIFI so that the data can
be transferred to the IoT platform. The GPS and GSM
modules will send a message containing the location coordinates to the care-giver mobile number in the case of
emergency. The vital signs are successfully shown on the
IoT server, OLED and a message is sent to the
emergency staff or caretaker in the case the patient is in
emergency. The monitoring system is successfully
developed for the facilitation of the patient as well as the
physician. The future work of this project will be giving
the proper and minimum shape to the monitoring system
so that it can become portable and increasing the
accuracy of the sensors.
