Abstract: Healthcare is given the extreme importance now a- days by each country with the advent of the novel corona virus. So in this
aspect, an IoT based health monitoring system is the best solution for such an epidemic. Internet of Things (IoT) is the new
revolution of internet which is the growing research area especially in the health care. With the increase in use of wearable
sensors and the smart phones, these remote health care monitoring has evolved in such a pace. IoT monitoring of health helps in
preventing the spread of disease as well as to get a proper diagnosis of the state of health, even if the doctor is at far distance.
We are going to monitor constantly the patient’s heartbeat, body temperature, fall down and other basic parameters of the room.
We proposed a nonstop checking and control instrument to screen the patient condition and store the patient information’s in
Thingspeak server utilizing Wi-Fi Module based remote correspondence. A remote health monitoring system using IoT is
proposed where the authorized personal can access these data stored using any IoT platform and based on these values received,
the diseases are diagnosed by the doctors from a distance.
Keywords: IoT, Arduino, Sensor, mobile phone.
Aims & Objectives: Aim
Design a Patient Health Monitoring System which has heartbeat
detection system, a fall detection system, temperature detection
system, a humidity detection system.
❖ Objectives
• To test the sensors in real-time.
• To Learn about Thingspeak Cloud Server.
• To create channels in Thingspeak
• To connect the schematics for each sensors and test the
working.
• To combine all components and to test for final result.
Methodology: Our project uses an Arduino Board, Temperature sensor, Humidity
sensor, Vibration sensor, Heart beat Sensor. The sensor modules will
work one after the other in a specific time interval. The DHT 11 sensor
will measure the surrounding temperature and humidity level. These
measured data are communicated to the Arduino board. The Arduino
board is connected with a wifi module to transmit the data to the
thingpeak server. The second sensor LM35 sensor measures the body
temperature and then it will have sent to the Arduino board. Next
heartbeat sensor will measure the BPM and the measured value is given
to the Arduino board. Similarly, the vibration sensor will detect the
vibration or acceleration and it will be communicated to the Arduino.
All the measured values are transmitted to the Thingspeak cloud server
and the graphical representation of the measurement can be seen in the
Thingpseak channel. Also if any abnormalities happened, Thinsgpeak
will send sms to the concern doctor.
Data Analysis: The IOT based health monitoring system had developed
with help of Arduino and Thingspeak. First ,testing of
individual components were done. Combined components
outputs were verified followed by the individual testing.
Finally, the implementation of health monitoring system
with IOT is presented with the output.
The sensors DHT 11 ,LM35,Heartbeat sensor and
ADXL335 sensor were tested .Then we combined all
component in one circuit to complete the design of health
monitoring system and do test to chick the work of each
sensor by connected each other.. Then we have created the
Thingspeak channel by following the procedure given to
display the values. Also we created the IFTTT applets to
send sms when the parameter values exceeded After
creating the applets, we have copied and saved the url of
each applets to use in ThingSpeak HTTP.Then we created
the ThingSpeak HTTP app for each parameters in the
Thingspeak Channel. We have included the copied url in
the respective Thingspeak HTTP app. To trigger the sms
we have to create react app for each monitored
parameters. The react page .After that we opened the
Arduino software and typed the program for the complete
circuit. The written program is compiled and uploaded in
Arduino board. The results are observed in the serial
monitor and also in the Thingspeak channel.Whenvever
the parameter values exceeded the specific values
,ThingSpeak HTTP will trigger the react app to send sms with
help of IFTTT.
Results:
Final Observation Table Thingspeak channel Output IFTTT messages:
Conclusions: Our main objective in this project was to successfully monitor the basic four criteria’s
namely body temperature, pulse rate, Humidity &Temperature of surroundings and
fall detection and react during emergency situation without any human interaction
The IOT based health monitoring system was implemented and tested successfully
with help of Arduino IDE and Thingspeak. We first checked the working of
components by using Arduino Uno. Then we assembled all the components together
and tested. The project is working fine and displays the values in the Thingspeak
channel and also it is sending sms to the responsible persons in case of any
abnormalities. The project is very helpful for the people living in remote areas and
doesn’t have access to all the medical facilities.
