Inspiration
The need for accessible, real-time health monitoring inspired us to build a system that empowers both patients and healthcare providers. We wanted to create a solution that could remotely track vital signs and alert users to critical changes, making healthcare more proactive and connected.
What it does
The Health-Monitoring System continuously measures ECG, heart rate, SpO2, and body temperature using Arduino and multiple sensors. It visualizes this data in real time and sends alerts when abnormal readings are detected, enabling timely intervention and remote patient management.
How we built it
We used an Arduino Uno 4 as the core controller, interfacing it with ECG, heart rate, SpO2, and temperature sensors. Data is processed and transmitted via Wi-Fi to the cloud, where it can be visualized and monitored remotely. The system also integrates with the Blink app for real-time notifications and data access.
Challenges we ran into
- Integrating multiple sensors and ensuring accurate, synchronized readings
- Managing Wi-Fi connectivity and reliable data transmission
- Designing a user-friendly interface for both local and remote monitoring
- Handling noise and artifacts in ECG and SpO2 signals
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Achieved stable, real-time monitoring of multiple vital signs
- Successfully implemented cloud connectivity and remote alerts
- Built a robust, extensible platform for future health monitoring features
What we learned
- Practical experience with biomedical sensors and signal processing
- IoT data transmission and cloud integration
- Importance of user-centric design in health tech
- Troubleshooting hardware and software issues in real-world scenarios
What's next for Health-Monitoring System
- Adding more sensors (e.g., blood pressure, respiration)
- Improving data analytics and visualization
- Enhancing mobile app features for patients and doctors
- Exploring AI-driven health insights and predictive alerts
