IOT Based Patient Monitoring Kit

INTRODUCTION:

In today’s world, people are more prone to diseases due to their lifestyle and dietary habits. In such a scenario, monitoring of patients’ health has a major role to play. Health care is an essential and rapidly developing area. The advancements in technology has made the impossible ideas possible. By the usage of integrated sensor network, it is now made possible that the health condition of our beloved people can be monitored without any difficulty. Particularly old age patients can be monitored and in case of any emergency the family members or the doctors can be alerted and the necessary help can be given at correct time. This IOT based patient monitoring system has a sensor network which keeps track of the patients’ health condition and uses internet to inform their family or doctor in case of any issue. This system is capable of sensing body temperature, humidity, respiration rate and blood pressure. These parameters are measured by various sensors and processed with the help of a microcontroller and then displayed on the LCD screen. The temperature and humidity are measured by the DHT 11 sensor and the blood pressure is measured by cuff method. This is transmitted over the internet to be stored and viewed by the doctors or family members.

Components Required:

1. Body Temperature,Humidity and Respiration Rate

• DHT 11 (Humidity sensor)

2. Blood Pressure

• ASCX15DN Honeywell Pressure Sensor
• Air Inflator Mini Pump
• Solenoid Valve
• MAX30100 (Heart Rate)

3. Spo2

• MAX30100

4. IOT

• ESP8266(WI_FI Module)

5. Microcontroller

• Arduino UNO

The block diagram of the proposed model is shown above. This system comprises of the humidity sensor, heart rate sensor connected to a micro controller, which is then displayed and also transmitted via the Wi-Fi module to the web. These values can be viewed by the android application installed in doctor’s and patient’s phone.

Note:

The DHT11 Sensor is placed near the nostril. It is capable of measuring humidity and temperature.Humidity is the water content present in the respired air. The sensor senses the difference in humidity between the inhaled and the exhaled air. This difference is counted for the number of breaths per minute(bpm) which is the respiration rate.

Arduino IDE:

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment - or Arduino Software (IDE) - contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions and a series of menus. It connects to the Arduino and Genuino hardware to upload programs and communicate with them.
