A)$T"ACT

We live in a generation where diseases have reached such an unprecedented level.

Diseases are so much that the greatest worry for many people should be their health. Lifestyle

diseases such as cardiovascular ailments and blood pressure are becoming more prevalent.

Cardiovascular diseases are some of the leading causes of deaths in world. Heart beat and blood

pressure readings are by far the best parameters that could promote early detection of cardiac

events. By using this system that I am proposing, we can measure ones heart rate through

fingertip. he number of patients is also increasing e!ponentially, bringing a tremendous

challenge to health resources in our very own country "enya where they have never been

enough.

#ecently, the health care sensors are playing a vital role in hospitals. he patient monitoring

systems is one of the ma$or improvements because of its advanced technology. %o my pro$ect

essentially entails connecting the temperature sensor and heartbeat sensor with the &rduino 'no

so that simultaneously one can monitor the patient(s condition and hence ruling out the use of the

thermometer and other devices to chec) the condition of the patient.

*y pro$ect is therefore designed to ease the burden on doctors and nurses in terms of

watching and testing of some parameters such as such as body temperature and transmitting

wirelessly using +%* module. -ually it would be used to monitor the sic) and the aged at

home especially in the absence of a guardian or a relative. *y pro$ect will be specifically

designed to test heart rate and body temperature using appropriate sensors. hese two parameters

are a great pointer to health status of a patient or a person.

emperature abnormality can be a symptom of so many diseases such as malaria. &bnormality

in heart rate is e-ually a pointer to many complications

he function of this system is thus to monitor the temperature and Heart Beat of the atient

and the data collected by the sensors are sent to the &rduino 'no. he &rduino processes then

transmits the data over the air via +%* shield to a doctor(s, nurse(s or a relative(s phone and also

displays the same information on a LCD.

Hard+are desi,n

Arduino Uno )oard

&rduino 'no board is the main function system in this pro$ect because it reads and interprets the

data from the heart rate and the temperature sensor outputs. &rduino software is downloaded

directly through the internet from the &rduino main page in order to build a specific

programmed. &rduino needs a '%B cable to power up the board in :9. !cess power will cause

irreparable damage to the &rduino board.

Temperature $ensor Circuit

Body temperature circuit is to measure the body temperature of patient. he normal temperature

for human is ;=.5 degree Celsius. emperature sensor contains three pins that are connecteddirectly to the &rduino 'no board. hey are :9, +/D and analog output pins. 0ther common

sensors used for temperature measuring are thermistors, thermocouples and resistance

thermometers but L*;: is used because it can measure temperature more accurately than theothers and generates a higher output voltage than thermocouples. L*;: sensor may not re-uire

that the output voltage be amplified. he L*;: is an integrated circuit sensor. Its electrical

output signal is proportional to the temperature in degree Celsius temperature.

#$M Module

his is interfaced with the &rduino 'no to transfer the processed signal to a doctor, a nurse or a

relative via +%* module.

(eart )eat sensor

his shall read the heart rate which is then processed by the processor and displayed on LCD

display and sent out through +%* module
