Heart & Respiration monitor

Inspiration

 All of us get affected by COVID-19 in different ways, so we agreed not to be spectators but to combat this virus. We know a doctor who gets infected with COVID-19, so we decided to find a way to protect healthcare workers from the infection. We read about temperature pitch that measures the patient's temperature and sends it to the phone of the doctor, so we decided to make another device that monitors heart rate and respiratory rate without much contact between healthcare workers and patients.

What it does

 The device monitors heart rate and respiratory rate and sends it to doctor's phone . It decreases interaction between health-care workers and the patients, thereby reducing the risk of infection in health-care workers. This monitoring system will also assist doctors and nurses in rescuing a greater number of patients from being critical cases.

How we built it

We'll use a Pulse Rate sensor to measure heart rate and use it to calculate the rate of respiration. We'll use a programming language like Java to make a data-receiving mobile application.  We'll need a WiFi module board to send data to the mobile app.We will need a microcontroller to program it and control the the entire system.

Challenges we ran into

We found some difficulties in searching for the percentage of doctors who had COVID-19 infected. We will face difficulties in creating this system because from a short time we have started learning AI, Java, and website development so we can't build the system on our own.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using temperature pitch and robots in China to reduce contact between healthcare workers and patients resulted in protecting healthcare workers as much as possible and overcoming COVID-19 as China has only 65 patients with COVID-19 today. That is why we expect this our system would have a great impact in controlling COVID-19 spread.

What we learned

 In a research paper entitled "Ten technologies to fight coronavirus" we read about different technologies for fighting COVID-19

What's next for Heart & Respiration monitor

We plan to add a thermal sensor to it, so they'll all be powered by a single PCB, saving money. We also want to use multi PCBs industry to make it as small as possible.
