Abstract
Internet of things (IoT) is a networking concept that allows connection of various smart devices. This concept plays a huge role in the healthcare industry. The developed system is a working prototype for real-time monitoring of patient falls and heart attacks. The process of developing this system included an architecture, which was built using Arduino UNO and Arduino NANO along with pulse sensors and accelerometer sensors. The main idea is to collect health-related data from time to time and the collected data is made available using a real-time interface called Thingspeak. With the help of this process, the person can be monitored from time to time without any hassle. The proposed system also makes use of delivering notifications at the time of emergency using the GSM technology, which is embedded with the Arduino architecture. This system will be of greater help to elderly people, people suffering from Frankenstein disease or people who are in a history of getting heart attacks due to genetic disorders.
Highlights
Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging IT technology changing the way of connectivity across devices and removes the barriers between devices and humans by providing a virtual communication between them
The basic functionality of accelerometer sensor is to detect person movements and the pulse rate sensor is used detect the person’s heart beat over a minute, certain predefined value will be coded within the Arduino IDE and a condition will be specified, if so there is an overshoot or underrate of predefined values a resulting notifications statement can be specified within the IDE
This API key provides a connection between the IDE and the online Thingspeak tool, so the data collected from sensors will be analyzed and later a pictorial graph will be provided to the user to make decisions based on the graph
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging IT technology changing the way of connectivity across devices and removes the barriers between devices and humans by providing a virtual communication between them. The Thingspeak API will be embedded along the Arduino IDE by making use of an API key provided to a particular user after login This API key provides a connection between the IDE and the online Thingspeak tool, so the data collected from sensors will be analyzed and later a pictorial graph will be provided to the user to make decisions based on the graph. To provide a summarized view, the system performs its functionality using the Arduino architecture by collecting user related pulse rate and acceleration data using appropriate sensors and makes it available in Thingspeak for further processing; the system embeds a GSM module to provide immediate notification at the time of emergency. The basic idea is to provide remote monitoring of heart attacks and patient falls by restricting it to a particular user
