Developing A Health Monitoring System using IoT

by Moin Malik, Mrs. Pragya Bajpayi, Dr. Bishwajeet Pandey

The fast-paced evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has transformed the healthcare industry by facilitating real-time, remote health monitoring. The aim of this project is to design a low-cost, portable, and user-friendly IoT-based health monitoring system that can sense vital parameters like heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) through the MAX30100 sensor and an Arduino microcontroller. The system shows real-time information on an LCD display and the Arduino Serial Monitor, offering a user-friendly solution for ongoing health monitoring, particularly in home or rural environments. The system is designed with modularity in mind, and it can be upgraded with ease to enable cloud integration, wireless data transmission, and other biometric sensors. Comprehensive testing validated the precision and consistency of the readings, affirming its possibility as a low-cost substitute for business monitoring instruments. This project adds to the greater dream of smart healthcare by enhancing patient care, curtailing hospital visits, and facilitating remote medical monitoring.
