IoT-Based Remote Health Monitoring System Employing Smart Sensors for Asthma Patients during COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 and asthma are respiratory diseases that can be life-threatening in uncontrolled circumstances and require continuous monitoring. A poverty-stricken South Asian country like Bangladesh has been bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic since its beginning. The majority of the country’s population resides in rural areas, where proper healthcare is difficult to access. This emphasizes the necessity of telemedicine, implementing the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is still under development in Bangladesh. This paper demonstrates how the current challenges in the healthcare system are resolvable through the design of a remote health and environment monitoring system, specifically for asthma patients who are at an increased risk of COVID-19. Since on-time treatment is essential, this system will allow doctors and medical staff to receive patient information in real time and deliver their services immediately to the patient regardless of their location. The proposed system consists of various sensors collecting heart rate, body temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, and air quality data and processing them through the Arduino Microcontroller. It is integrated with a mobile application. All this data is sent to the mobile application via a Bluetooth module and updated every few seconds so that the medical staff can instantly track patients’ conditions and emergencies. The developed prototype is portable and easily usable by anyone. The system has been applied to five people of different ages and medical histories over a particular period. Upon analyzing all their data, it became clear which participants were particularly vulnerable to health deterioration and needed constant observation. Through this research, awareness about asthmatic symptoms will improve and help prevent their severity through effective treatment anytime, anywhere.

Plant Monitoring System

In the Iot based smart plant monitoring system we can monitor and control using Iot . It is very difficult to control scattered without a remote environment monitoring system. In recent years, there appeared a canopy remote monitoring system based on Ethernet. In this project we use different modules such as IOT, arduino as controller, Temperature sensor. If soil is dry automatically water pump will get ON. And the sensor values are given to ADC to get processed by arduino controller. The temperature sensor LM35 senses the temperature and converts it into an electrical signal, which is applied to the micro controller through ADC. If temperature increases more than set threshold value. Automatically Motor will be ON. In this project we are using Temperature Sensor and Dc Motor. In an industry during certain hazards is will be very difficult to monitor the parameter through wires and analog devices such as transducers. To overcome this problem we use wireless device to monitor the parameters so that we can take certain steps even in worst case. Few years back the use of wireless device was very less, but due the rapid development is technology now-a-days we use maximum of our data transfer through wireless like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WI-Max,etc.

Passive Acoustic Array Harbor Security Applications

AbstractHarbor security and protection of maritime assets are issues of increasing concern. Outstanding research questions exist in terms of the optimal protection methodology needed for the wide variety of surface and submerged threats and diverse geographical locations. Economic costs and environmental concerns are also significant overriding issues. Acoustic methods have the advantage of being amenable to tracking and detecting targets both above and below the ocean surface. Moreover, passive acoustic methods are nonintrusive and capable of covering extensive ranges. Acoustic arrays offer significant advantages in terms of gain and signal processing capabilities over discrete, single hydrophones. We investigate the use of horizontal and vertical arrays for the detection and tracking of a remote environment monitoring system (REMUS) autonomous underwater vehicle as well as open-circuit divers in a noisy, shallow water environment. Using conventional beamforming techniques, we obtain positive preliminary results for detection and tracking, which highlight the overall merits of an acoustic array implementation.
