Abstract

Health is the prime significance in our routine life. The Internet of Things has given a much simpler answer for remote continuous wellbeing check of patients from the clinic, just as at home. The other important thing in our project is the plan of sending the warning via Email and SMS alert, if any of the health parameters crosses the limit esteem. Traditional breath monitoring methods rely on wearable devices which are intrusive and uncomfortable. Here, We have used a flexible acoustic sensor that has been designed to detect breath level while attached to the chest of a human. The sensor has a parallel plate capacitive structure using air as the dielectric material. Secondly, the design itself acts as a low pass filter to reduce the effect of background noise which mostly lies in>1000Hz frequency range. The resulting analog interface is minimal and thus, consumes less power and occupies less space. The sensor is made up of low-cost sustainable materials (aluminum foil) which greatly reduces the cost and complexity of manufacturing processes. The sensor is connected to a smartphone via Wi-Fi, enabling signal processing and further integration into digital medical electronic systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This system is capable of sending current location to the doctor and delivering oxygen to the user in case of any emergency. The sensor which we used also measures and displays the temperature and humidity level.
