Design of Spirometry For Measure and Monitor Electric Smokers Lung Volume Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

Health is the primary necessity in human life. Without health, human cannot carry out their daily activities. Some people have unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking habits, both conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Smoking can cause dyspnea resulting in shortness of breath and decreased lung function. As the main organ in breathing, a spirometry test can be done to test whether lung function is normal or abnormal. Spirometry tools can measure forced vital capacity (FVC) and First Expiratory Volume (FEV1). In general, spirometry tools used are analog and have not integrated with the Internet of Things and can only be done in certain hospitals. This spirometry tool is designed with a flowmeter sensor YF-S201 that can measure a volume or fluid flow and the microcontroller NodeMCU ESP8266 to carry out microcontroller functions and connect devices to the internet network. The volume value will be calculated and sent to the smartphone through Blynk Application for monitoring and assessing the percentage of lung volume ratio. Percentage above 80% is normal, 80% - 60% is mild damage, 60% - 40% is moderate damage, and below 40% is severe damage. With this research, it is hoped that it can be a solution to help a doctor diagnose and monitor patient health.
