Analysis of Heart Rate and Body Temperature from the Wireless Monitoring System Using Arduino

Abstract

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward situation tend to be very intense since the patients who are placed in the wards are usually critical condition patients. These patients need an intensive care by the nurses and physician since their condition are not very stable. Therefore, the nurses and physicians need to monitor them very frequent. So, the idea of this monitoring system is mainly to ease the nurses work by reducing monitoring frequency. This monitoring system also purposely built to make them alert about their patient thus, can minimize the risk of patients who are monitored. This monitoring system is using the microcontroller (Arduino Uno) which is connected to the laptop via Bluetooth to transfer the data of heart rate and body temperature of the respondent. This data was sense through Heart-Rate Grove sensor and LM35 temperature sensor. The data were processed and displayed on the laptop for every minute continuously. Different colour of LED was used as an indicator to notify the condition of the respondent’s pulse or body temperature either it was in high or low condition as a warning. For young adult with fever respondent, it shows the result of 81 bpm of heart rate and 37.63°C of body temperature with 3.83% and 0.65% of the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) respectively. This monitoring system has successfully built and able to display the data of the heart rate and body temperature of the respondent for every minute and able to facilitate autonomous monitoring tasks in the future.

Developing Smart System for Managing Heart Patients' Crises

“…The nearest hospital received a distress notification from the proposed device for patient, it contains the patient's name, heart rate and time of heart attack as shown in figure (16). To confirm the response to the distress request, a notification page is entered that contains the patient's personal , vital information, as well as his current location and navigation through directions on Google maps, medical file is also created for the patient in this hospital received the distress request as shown in figure (17,18). If the nearest hospital is not ready to receive the patient, send notification is automatically to the next hospital in terms of the closest distance as shown in figure (19).…”

“…A technology that monitors your heart rate and body temperature wirelessly has been implemented that is able to keep track of your heart rate and read the patient body temperature at any time, At any moment, healthcare practitioners may monitor and diagnose their patients using a laptop, they can easily keep an eye on their patients from their desk, which is very useful in an emergency [18].…”

Measuring Biosignals with Single Circuit Boards

“…Temperature can, in the easiest way, be measured by the resistance change in a conductive wire or by a thermocouple consisting of two wires from different metals. It can be measured solely [ 139 , 140 , 141 ], but it is often combined with heart-rate measurements and suggested for critical situations where patients do not have access to a doctor or hospital [ 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 ]. Such a dual-measurement setup is depicted in Figure 8 [ 144 ].…”

Here, the Grove-Heart rate sensor for the fingertip and the LM35 temperature sensor work as inputs for the Arduino Uno, a Bluetooth module HC-05, transmitting signals to a laptop, and LEDs to display warning messages or abnormal heart rates.…”
