Smartband for Heartbeat and Oxygen Saturation Monitoring with Critical Warning to Paramedic via IoT

Abstract

There are vital signs in the human body that indicate important physiological values for the body. In the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the important vital signs that must be monitored are BPM (Beats Per Minute) and SpO2 (oxygen saturation) as indicators of whether a person is in good health or lacks oxygen to predict the early symptoms of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to create a device on the patient's wrist that can monitor BPM and SpO2 in real-time, as well as provide notifications on smartphones and emails when the patient's condition is abnormal. The contribution of this study is to implement an IoT (Internet of Things) system using a Wi-Fi connection so that monitoring activities are not separated by distance and time. The MAX86141 sensor is used in the design of this tool to detect the BPM and SpO2 values, after which the data is processed and displayed on the ESP32 TTGO T-Display. Monitoring results are also sent to the Blynk, and if the patient's condition is abnormal, an email notification is sent. According to the tool testing results, BPM has the smallest error of 0.94 percent and the largest error of 6.48 percent, whereas SpO2 has the smallest error of 0.20 percent and the largest error of 3.23 percent. The findings of this study can be used to improve the ease and efficiency of body health monitoring activities. This has the potential to significantly improve public health service quality, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic

Monitoring SpO2, BPM, and Temperature on Smartband with Data Sending Using IoT Android Display

“…Researchers Fani Ferina and Yusita Indihira from the Surabaya Ministry of Health Poltekkes conducted a study on Smartband Monitoring of SpO2 and BPM Based on IOT in 2022. [1] The device made use of the ESPTTGO T-Display, a microcontroller and display, integrated WiFi, and the MAX86141 sensor for BPM and SpO2 readings. This concept included a 3.7 V lithium battery for power supply and attempted to reduce the requirement for extra tools and materials.…”

“…A person's vital signs, such as BPM, SpO2, and body temperature, are crucial markers of how well they are doing. When a patient exhibits illness-related symptoms that need rapid attention, prompt monitoring is essential because postponing treatment could make their condition worse [1] [2]. A person's pulse can be felt to assess their heart rate, which is the simplest method.…”

Application of remote monitoring of biosignals and geolocation with a Wearable for patients with sequelae of the coronavirus

“…Technological advances during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to the production of a plethora of new non-invasive devices for remote monitoring [9], such as the one developed by Idris et al [10] that allowed remote monitoring of patients with COVID-19 through the oximeter reading sensor using the ESP32 MAX30100 web server that stores the information in the cloud. Other research developed by Wisana et al [11] focused on creating a wearable so that the patient can monitor the beats per minute (BPM) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in real time, as well as provide notifications on smartphones and emails when the patient's condition is abnormal. Then the cases of people with PC19S began to increase, for which reason ambulatory monitoring of these patients began to be developed, such as that developed by Davies et al [12] where great relevance was given to the non-invasive estimation of blood SpO2 by pulse oximetry due to its clinical importance for the detection of sleep apnea and hypoxemia in the late postinfectious phase of COVID-19.…”
