Smartphone Based Respiratory Signal monitoring and Apnea detection Via Bluetooth Comunication

Abstract

Patients with sleep apnea (sleep apnea) are increasing, almost more than 80% of people with this disorder are undiagnosed. Symptoms of sleep apnea are stopping breathing for more than 10 seconds. The purpose of this study was to design an apnea monitor device in order to detect symptoms of sleep apnea. The contribution in this study is a monitoring system or remote monitoring so that other people can monitor the patient's condition even though they are not accompanying him. In order to facilitate the process of monitoring and diagnosing patients, a Apnea Monitor Based on Bluetooth with Signal Display in Android with a delivery system via a bluetooth network that displays respiratory signals on Android so that patients can be treated quickly when breathing stops (apnea) . The design of this device uses a piezoelectric sensor to detect breathing which is placed on the patient's abdomen. The sensor output in the form of voltage is then conditioned on the PSA circuit. Using the ESP32 microcontroller as a signal processing which is formed by the PSA circuit and processed into a signal and respiration value. The respiration signal and value are then sent to the android device using the Bluetooth network. When a respiratory arrest is detected for more than 10 seconds, the device will turn on the indicator and buzzeer on the device and also send a warning to the Android or Roboremo application in the form of a notification "Apnea!" and a beep sound as a reminder when there is apnea in the patient so that the user can immediately take action on the patient. The test in this study there are 5 respondents who have been tested on this module by comparing the respiration rate per minute with the Patient Monitor, and the test results in this study obtained the measurement and calculation results, the lowest error value was 1.58% and the highest error value was 2.9%, the module can also transmit data well and without data loss with a distance of 10 meters in the room and 5 meters in different rooms. This module can be implemented in the patient monitoring process so that it can reduce sufferers of sleep apnea disorders. the module can also transmit data well and without data loss with a distance of 10 meters in the room and 5 meters in different rooms.
