Utilization of microcontroller technology using Arduino board for Internet of Things (a systematic review)

Abstract

This research aims to review systematically and analyze the results of research regarding the use of microcontrollers for the Internet of Things (IoT). This literature review is aimed specifically to find out the use of microcontroller technology of IoT for the health sector. The microcontroller system being studied is specific using the Arduino board. The research method uses a systematic review with 4 (four) stages of work: identification, screening, eligibility, and input. Search articles using three databases: IEEE Xplore, IOP and SpringerLink during these past five years (2015-2019). The articles are should based on international proceedings and journals in English that accessed by full text. The result of study found that 859 research articles have discussed the use of the microcontroller to the IoT. Most of the articles published in international proceedings and the researches are from developed countries. The Arduino board uses the Arduino uno model and the temperature type of sensors, humidity sensors, gas sensors, smoke sensors, camera sensors, light sensors, and motion sensors. Microcontroller systems for IoT can be used in various fields such as house construction, industry, transportation, agriculture, sports, health, and the environment. The application of microcontroller technology to IoT in the field of health is to monitor patient health condition. For example: monitoring the patient's heart rate, hearing aid technology, navigation assistance for the visually impaired, smart home for disabled people, and smart box for medicine.
