Introduction
Health is always a major concern in every growth. the human race is advancing in terms of
technology Health monitoring is an essential problem in today’s world. Due to lack of
proper health monitoring, patient suffer from serious health issues. There are lots of IoT
devices that can monitor the health of patient over internet. Health experts are also taking
advantage of these smart devices to keep an eye on their patients. With tons of new
healthcare technology start-ups, IoT is rapidly revolutionizing the healthcare industry. IOT
based patient health monitoring system with mechanical ventilation is a medical equipment
that has internet capability and can measure one or more health data of a patient who is
connected to the device such as heartbeat, body temperature, blood pressure, ECG, Pulse
rate etc. Our device measures temperature, blood oxygen and heart rate. The equipment
can record, transmit and alert if there is any abrupt change in the patient’s health. The
project is divided into two parts namely: 1. IOT based smart ventilator 2. Smart Health
monitoring system. IoT based ventilator aims to provide a continuous breathing process
to the patient whose lung capacity has decreased to a point where inhalation and Exhalation
is not possible on their own. In general, there is a portable physiological checking frame
work is displayed which can constantly screen the patients pulse rate, temperature, oxygen
with combination of mechanical ventilator by using IOT server.
Background study
IoT (Internet of things) has become an emerging topic in technological field research. It is basically
interconnection of devices with each other over the internet network. It facilitates the digitalization
and automation of the manually operating devices. We typically think of the Internet of things
(IoT) in terms of autonomous cars and smart homes, but some of the best and innovative
applications of IoT technology are in fields that are intensely practical.
Today's technology has been evolved into stand-alone systems which can do all necessary
processes by themselves without any additional hardware. Advance microcontrollers have become
microcomputers that are also known as single board computers. These systems take their power
from powerful microcontrollers. These microcontrollers have many integrated circuits on board so
they can achieve many different processes by themselves. They are being used in many
applications from powerful industrial devices to simple home appliances. In today's market, there
are many different microcontrollers with different structure and capabilities. Therefore,
understanding the concepts related to the microcontrollers is really important for choosing the best
hardware...
Global IOT revenues are likely to grow from 8.74 billion in 2020 to more than 13 billion in 2023,
according to Statista Research Department. So, this is the right time to learn and get started with
IoT. The emerging advances in the field of the Internet of things or IoT are game changers. You
can see IoT everywhere, devices of all shapes and sizes. Soon IoT technology is poised to disrupt
several other industries.
One of the major applications is health care monitoring system. The main purpose of our project
is the luxury to explore improved services for patients and their handlers. It can be used to promote
basic nursing care in the hospital environment by improving the quality of medicare and patient
safety.
IoT based patient health monitoring system is a generic term given to any medical equipment that
has internet capability and can measure one or more health data of a patient who is connected to
the device such as heartbeat, body temperature, blood pressure, ECG, steps etc.
The equipment can record, transmit and alert if there is any abrupt change in the patient’s health.
By this definition, it includes devices such as smart-watches, fitness trackers, smart-phones to
expensive hospital equipment which can connect to internet. When a patient is recovering in your
hospital, they want to do so in a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment that helps them heal
faster and foster better relationships with their providers. A smart healthcare campus can do all of
that – and more.
The problem that an IoT-based automated health monitoring system aims to solve is the ability to
continuously monitor a person's health status and alert relevant individuals or medical
professionals in the event of any abnormalities or emergencies. This system would be able to
collect data from various wearable or implantable sensors and use that data to track various health
metrics such as heart rate, body temperature, and physical activity. In the event of any potential
health issues, the system would be able to alert designated individuals or medical professionals,
potentially allowing for timely interventions and improved patient outcomes.63
One of the United Nations' sustainability goals is to ensure good health and well-being for all
people. An IoT-based automated health monitoring system can help support this goal by providing
individuals with the ability to continuously monitor their own health and receive timely alerts in
the event of any potential health issues. This can help people proactively address any potential
health concerns, potentially improving their overall health and well-being. Additionally, by
allowing for early detection and intervention of potential health issues, this system can help reduce
the burden on healthcare systems and potentially improve overall healthcare outcomes. This can
also help support other sustainability goals, such as reducing inequality and promoting sustainable
economic growth.
A problem definition for a mechanical ventilator would involve identifying the need for a reliable
and effective way to provide respiratory support to individuals who are unable to breathe
adequately on their own. This could include individuals who have respiratory illnesses or injuries,
or those who are undergoing surgical procedures that require them to be placed on a ventilator.
The problem definition would also include a description of the challenges and limitations of
existing mechanical ventilators, and the goals and objectives for the development of a new,
improved ventilator. These goals and objectives might include improving patient outcomes,
reducing the risk of complications, and increasing the efficiency and reliability of the ventilator.
Overall, the problem definition for a mechanical ventilator would provide a clear understanding of
the needs and challenges involved in developing a new and improved respiratory support device.

health monitoring is an essential problem in today’s world scenario. So, this system is
helpful for achieving good health and well-being goals, of UN. The proposed system aims
to solve the problem of expensive and sophisticated ventilator systems and health
monitoring systems by introducing an easy to use low-cost IOT based ventilator and patient
monitoring system. The system also aims to provide an easy to use, scalable and easy to
install alternative to the systems which are present in the market today. The system can
also be used to collect real-time health information and give feedback to patients and
medical specialists. Allowing every single person to examine their health, and advising
them to find immediate treatment in case of emergencies, can result in saving that person’s
life. The use of these monitoring systems can decrease medical fees for the nation in the
long run. This device is useful to keep track of the changes in patients' heart rate, blood
pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature. These health-related data can be accessed by
using sensors. With the help of ECG and heart sensors, cardiac disease can be detected.
The condition of the patients will be conveyed to the doctors and they will suggest the
treatment or the medicines to the patient accordingly. If an abnormality is detected in the
health of the patient, then the doctors and the patient's family members will be alerted with
a red signal otherwise it will give a green signal.
Literature review
IOT’s evolution has increased nowadays with smart devices’ tremendous ability to share
information. The reliance on IoT on various applications has widened its importance in the
healthcare sector for remote monitoring of patients’ criticality levels. This technological
advent has come across various domains of safety, health, and human wellbeing. IoT is
advantageous in computation, processing, and storage utilizing cloud-based solutions. It is
also beneficial in processing and storing the geographical data on the cloud platform, which
can be shared between the devices for various applications. At present, there is a variety of
studies on human health monitoring systems based on the Internet of Things worldwide.
Significant progress has been made in remote consultation and remote monitoring of blood
pressure, blood glucose values, and some medical data (long-distance transmission). There
are various systems developed regarding the health monitoring system by different peoples.
Many of them are developed in china. From these:
1) Rezaeibagha and Mu designed an Agent system that can monitor vital signs such as
blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and body temperature, which was connected to
wireless sensors.
2) Tamilselvi proposed a health monitoring system that can assess patients’ primary
symptoms like their oxygen level, body temperature, and eye movement using the IoT
platform.
3) Acharya developed a kit for healthcare monitoring using the IoT platform to assess the
parameters like a heartbeat, ECG, temperature, and respiration using various intelligent
sensors.
4) Gregoski presented a smartphone-based technique for heart rate monitoring using
mobile and camera interaction.
5) Oresko developed a smartphone interactive tool for identifying cardiovascular diseases
to monitor the level of heart rate during the progression of time.
The current human health monitoring system based on the Internet of Things has some
limitations, such as increasing users and uploaded databases, no guarantee for users, poor
real-time performance, and low data utilization. A human health monitoring system based
on the Internet of Things is designed in this work. The system can uninterruptedly and
accurately monitor the human body’s heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature,
physiological information, and other vital sign parameters. This work uses wireless sensors
to retain the information for health monitoring. The data is integrated using the Internet of
Things for processing, connecting, and computing to achieve real-time monitoring. The
proposed system demonstrated relatively accurate and stable test ability improving
deficiencies in the existing health monitoring platform. This article contributes in daily
health management using the human health monitoring system based on the Internet of
Things which is instrumental in heightening health service quality.

Components specification
Hardware components
I. LM35 Temperature Sensor
LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature devices with an output voltage linearly-proportional to the
Centigrade temperature. The LM35 device has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in Kelvin, as
the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from the output to obtain convenient Centigrade scaling.
It is a small and cheap IC which can be used to measure temperature anywhere between -55°C to
150°C. It can easily be interfaced with any Microcontroller that has ADC function or any
development platform like Arduino.
We can power the IC by applying a regulated voltage like +5V (VS) to the input pin and connected
the ground pin to the ground of the circuit. And we can measure the temperature in form of voltage
as shown below.
If the temperature is 0°C, then the output voltage will also be 0V. There will be rise of 0.01V
(10mV) for every degree Celsius rise in temperature. The voltage can convert into temperature
using the below formulae.

Methodology
The temperature sensor measures the body temperature, the heart beat sensor will measure the
heart rate and oximeter measures the oxygen level when the patient is in contact with the sensors.
The Arduino will process the code and display the data of the patient to LCD display. The Wi-fi
module ESP8266 provides internet connectivity through which the data will be monitored on the
IOT server. Thus, the doctors and relatives of the patient can access the data and monitor the health
of the patient remotely and take necessary measures accordingly.
mechanical ventilator
A ventilator is a machine that supports breathing. It’s also called a breathing machine or
respirator. These machines are mainly used in hospitals. Ventilators will get oxygen into the
lungs, remove carbon dioxide from the body, help patient breathe easier, and breathe for people
who have lost all ability to breathe on their own.
A ventilator is often used for short periods, such as during surgery when you’re under general
anesthesia or during treatment for a serious lung disease or other condition that affects normal
breathing. Some people may suffer from a condition where they need to use ventilators for a long
period or even for the rest of their lives.
A ventilator uses pressure to blow air into the lungs. This pressure is known as positive pressure.
A patient usually exhales the air on their own, but sometimes the ventilator does it for them too.
The amount of oxygen the patient receives can be controlled through a monitor connected to the
ventilator. If the patient’s condition is particularly fragile, the monitor will be set up to send an
alarm to the caregiver, indicating an increase in air pressure.
The machine works by bringing oxygen to the lungs and taking carbon dioxide out of the lungs. This
allows a patient who has trouble breathing to receive the proper amount of oxygen. It also helps the
patient’s body to heal, since it eliminates the extra energy of labored breathing.
A ventilator blows air into the airway through a breathing tube. One end of the tube is inserted into
patient’s windpipe and the other end is attached to the ventilator. The breathing tube serves as an
airway by letting air and oxygen from the ventilator flows into the lungs. Depending on the patient’s
medical condition, they may be able to use a respiratory mask instead of the breathing tubes.
