INCAPE23-Integrated Portable Cloud-Based Temperature with Pulse Oximetry Device for Remote Health Monitoring

Abstract

The healthcare monitoring system addresses the growing demand for accessible, personalized, and cost-efficient healthcare solutions. It empowers the community and healthcare providers to collaborate in managing health proactively and remotely, leading to better outcomes and overall quality of healthcare delivery. In this work, an integrated portable cloud-based temperature with pulse oximetry device has been developed for remote health monitoring. This device tracks essential health indicators like temperature, SpO2, and heart rate, which are crucial for identifying health conditions. It operates in real-time and sends accurate health data to the cloud, enabling users, families, and medical staff to access detailed information for patient safety. Connected through IoT platforms, the device updates data via ThingSpeak and the Blynk app, reducing the need for frequent physical check-ups by providing continuous monitoring. The accuracy of the device has been validated through real-time data analysis, and it includes safety features such as overheating prevention. The temperature sensor's readings are accurate and comparable to those of commercial devices. This device has the potential to be used beyond Covid-19, expanding its applications to monitor various illnesses.
