Abstract

In our daily lives, health is the most important aspect. To do the everyday tasks effectively, good health must be maintained. However, people nowadays do not have much time to prioritize their own health. A health monitoring system that automatically records health condition is necessary to provide users with information about their health status in real time. In conventional health monitoring systems, individuals need to meet their doctors regularly to evaluate their condition. However, the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has facilitated the transition of healthcare from in-person consultations to telemedicine. Through IoT, machine-to-machine connection allow for immediate initiation of preprogrammed tasks that enables the health consultation to be made remotely in a more efficient way. The goal of this project is to develop an IoT-based health monitoring system that tracks a remote patient's vital signs in real time. This system uses two sensors: a pulse sensor and temperature sensor, to monitor body temperature and heart rate information. These sensors interface with a NodeMCU-32 controller board, enabling wireless data transfer to an IoT platform known as ThingSpeak. Additionally, Mit App Inventor is employed for data visualization, data display and storage. To test the developed system, measurements are compared with readings from commercially available devices. It was found that the accuracy of body temperature measurements is 1.21%, and heart rate measurements are 2.8%. The results affirm the suggested approach's reliability and accuracy across diverse individual health characteristics.
