Abstract
With the recent rapid technological progress, technology has had a significant and noticeable
impact in various fields. The Internet of Things (IoT) has successfully dominated most of the
industrial sector, particularly automation and control, as well as the health and biomedical
industries. In normal cases, doctors carry out medical examinations of patients, so it begins
with recording preliminary reports for patients and then conducting examinations. It takes
time and effort, especially if there are cases that are more important than others, so the fear is
that some cases will be neglected at the expense of others. To solve this problem, a solution
was found so that the patient is monitored remotely and the necessary examinations are performed
for the patient using modern technology. These examinations are almost equivalent to
the traditional examinations that are conducted face to face, as they have several advantages
as they are less expensive, effective, and comfortable for the patient and achieve satisfactory
results.
With the increasing use of the Internet and the increase in dependence on mobile phones and
devices in general, it has become possible to manufacture health monitoring devices that can
be worn or carried to any place and used at any time and anywhere, and sending the results to
the doctor, for example, without the need to go to the hospital and do repeated examinations,
So that the doctor is constantly informed of the results to inform the patient, if necessary, to
come to the hospital.
In this project, a model was designed to monitor the patient’s health status. This system
facilitates the process of diagnosis and examination for the patient as the body temperature,
heart rate, blood oxygen and ECG signals are measured, using the following sensors respectively:
DS18B20, MAX30100, and AD8232. In addition to an alarm for medicine times.
In addition to a bracelet to detect the patient in the event of a sudden fall by notifying family
member and sending them a message immediately upon its occurrence via WiFi module.
This will be done by building fall detection device using NodeMCU and MPU6050 sensor
module which will be used as microcontroller and Wi-Fi module, to connect with IFTTT to
send messages.
This project consists of two parts, consisting of two devices. The first device is for measuring
the vital signs of the body. This information is shown directly on the Nextion screen (touch
screen) and at the same time it is sent to the Blynk application(website and mobile app). The
second device, which is the bracelet, which works as a fall detection system with a sensor to
measure the heartbeat, so that the information is sent directly by message via IFTTT to one
of the patient’s family member to alert them to the patient’s condition
