IoT Based Covid Patient Health Monitoring System

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic situation has made timely Health monitoring a major concern for saving a life. The busy routine life is a major challenge for doctors to regularly monitor the Health of a COVID Patient. To overcome this problem faced by the family members and doctors in this pandemic situation, we have designed a smart Health monitoring system using IoT (Internet of Things). This system immediately checks and alerts about the critical situations faced by the COVID Patients. This system uses NODEMCU ESP8266 controller, for continuous tracking of the Patient’s Blood Oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) level. Additionally, Patient Health parameters such as Body Temperature, Heart rate (BPM), as well as Room Temperature and Humidity can also be measured. The Patient Health data are collected and stored in an IoT platform (BLYNK). These Patient Health parameters can be monitored from anywhere by any devices such as Smartphones, Laptop, PC, Smart TV’s etc… that supports browsing capabilities. If the levels of Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO 2 ) gets lower, it sends a warning immediately to the family members, doctors and to the nearest hospital through mail, phone call and SMS (Short Message Service). By Checking the data obtained from the system, necessary actions could be taken before the problem becomes severe. Thus, the Patient’s life can be saved in time by using this proposed system.
