IOT based portable heart rate and SpO2 pulse oximeter
Abstract
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of new,innovative medical devices to analyse and monitor the situation has become profound. With this in mind, we have developed an IOT based portable and cost-efficient heart rate and SpO2/level sensor device with efficient performance. The proposed system is equipped with an onboard OLED with simple internet connectivity, which publishes data on the OLED and to a HTML webpage. The salient features include its portability, user compatibility and is unique in its way of transmitting collected data online, making it achieve better results than the current available solutions in various ways. The system has on board a MAX30100 sensor(Pulse Oximeter sensor) and along with the IOT based microcontroller(WeMos D1 mini) enables the facility to monitor the real time health data of patients in real-time through a HTML page.
