Inspiration

I got inspired to make this project by seeing multiple problems in the health sector.
For every mild emergency we have to rush to the doctor for the cure or in big emergencies after reaching the hospital we have to go through multiple checkups and our past record is checked for any diseases or allergies before treatment starts which can waste a lot of time and patient life have to be at risk.
I am also very interested in learning robotics and neuroscience which greatly motivated me to build something using hardware components like microcontrollers.

What it does

The prototype version uses a temperature sensor and pulse monitor sensor to sense patient temperature and heart rate and displays it on a 16*2 LCD screen.

How I built it

It is built using Arduino as a microcontroller, temperature sensor, and pulse monitor sensor to sense data and send it to Arduino then Arduino displays data on an LCD screen everything is connected using breadboard and jumper wires. I coded Arduino in C++ to perform these tasks using Arduino IDE.
Component List :

  • Arduino UNO
  • DS18B20 Temerature Sensor
  • Pulse Heart Rate Sensor
  • 16*2 LCD Screen with I2C Module
  • Breadboard
  • Jumper wires
  • 4.7k Resistor
  • 9V Battery

Challenges I ran into

I ran Into 3 problems majorly
First was a compilation error due to selecting the wrong port in Arduino IDE
The second was the LCD screen not getting enough power which is fixed using a potentiometer on the ic2 module
The third problem was that I am not able to face the camera to present my idea and work before the deadline as it was 4 am and all my family members are sleeping.

Accomplishments that I am proud of and What I learned

  • In this challenge, I learned the basic of Arduino and its working
  • Don't wait for the deadline and try to do the project fast
  • Not always teamwork works out and leads to time wastage; sometimes the solo project is better
  • I overcome my fear of facing cameras

What's next for Advanced Health Monitoring System

In AHMS Future Version I Will

  • Replace Arduino UNO with ESP32 800L to send data over mobile network or cellular network
  • Add more sensors to sense sugar level, blood pressure, etc...
  • Build a mobile app for patients and doctors for better management
  • Create a web server to store past records or patient history
  • Work on its design and make it more compact
