Towards Real-Time Public Health: A Novel Mobile Health Monitoring System

In the realm of healthcare and remote monitoring, the integration of technology has proven to be a pivotal advancement. This project presents an abstract for interfacing an Arduino-based system with a heartbeat sensor, temperature sensor, GSM module, SPO2 Sensor, LCD display, and buzzer. The objective is to develop a comprehensive solution for heart rate monitoring and immediate alert dissemination through SMS, while also providing visual and audible feedback to the user. The core component of this system is an Arduino microcontroller, acting as the central processing unit. A heartbeat sensor is employed to capture the user's heart rate. The sensor data is then processed by the Arduino to calculate the heart rate, and this information is displayed on an LCD screen. Concurrently, the calculated heart rate is compared to predefined thresholds to determine abnormal heart rate conditions. A temperature sensor is employed to capture the user’s body temperature. The sensor data is then processed by the Arduino to calculate the temperature and if it exceeds the threshold then using GSM module Arduino will send text message to care takers.

In the event of an abnormal heart rate reading, a GSM module comes into play. The Arduino triggers the GSM module to send an SMS alert to a predefined recipient, such as a healthcare provider or a family member. This enables prompt intervention in case of critical heart rate fluctuations, contributing to timely medical assistance. To enhance user awareness, a buzzer is integrated into the system. When an abnormal heart rate condition is detected, the buzzer emits an audible alert. This auditory feedback ensures that users are alerted even if they are not actively monitoring the visual display.
