This system continuously monitors the health status of a person. The application of this system is remotely monitoring the babies or old person who lives in alone. The system is directly connected to the IoT cloud, as a result anyone can (such as doctors, relatives etc) monitor their health condition remotely in real-time. The health parameters of a person that we monitor using this device are heart rate in BPM, temperature, SPO2 level, and humidity. Please note that temperature and humidity sensors are not presents in this project; of course it’s possible to add them. I have used some random value while demonstrating the application.
The FireBeetle development board along with heart rate sensor is used here. The FireBeetle board collects the sensors data and sends them to the iot-cloud. The board uses WiFi connectivity for maintaining the cloud communication with Thinger.io. Thinger.io is an opensource IoT-cloud plartform. A mobile application for real time data visualization is developed. The application directly connected to the IoT cloud and shows the real-time data that comes from health monitoring device .The application is helpful for monitoring babies and older people.
