Design and Development of An IoT – Based Multi – Health Vital Signs Monitoring System

Abstract

This study presents the design and development of an IoT-based multi-health vital signs monitoring system that can monitor a patient’s basic health physiological parameters in real-time. In this system, four (4) sensors were used to capture the data from the patient. These are body temperature sensor, electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, accelerometer sensor and the eye blink sensor. The hardware modules were interfaced with the liquid crystal display (LCD) to display the required data. Memory modules stored the designated phone numbers. The GSM module retains connectivity with the cellular networks acting as SMS receiver, which sends data on the patient’s vital signs. The LCD displays the data, which can be seen through the IoT. The microcontroller was programmed using C++ programming language and connects all sensors. This enabled conveyance of data on the patient’s health condition via IoT to the doctor for further processing and analysis.
