Health monitoring is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. With the advent of technology, DIY health monitoring systems have become accessible and affordable. This project will guide you through building a basic health monitoring system using Arduino, capable of measuring and displaying vital signs such as heart rate and body temperature.
Components Needed:
Arduino Uno🛒: The central microcontroller that processes data from the sensors and display on screen.
Heart Rate Sensor🛒 : Measures the heart rate by detecting the blood flow through your fingertip.
Temperature Sensor (LM35 or DHT11)🛒: Measures body temperature.
LCD Display (20x4)🛒: Displays the sensor readings.
Breadboard and Jumper Wires🛒: For making circuit connections.
Power Supply: USB cable for Arduino or a battery pack for portability.
Resistors and Capacitors (optional)🛒: As needed for sensor connections and signal conditioning.
Circuit Diagram:
Creating the circuit involves connecting each sensor to the Arduino. Here’s a detailed description.
Heart Rate Sensor:
VCC to Arduino’s 5V.
GND to Arduino’s GND.
Output to Arduino’s analog input pin A0
Temperature Sensor (LM35):
VCC to Arduino’s 5V.
GND to Arduino’s GND.
Output to another digital input pin D4.
LCD Display:
Connect as per the 4-bit mode setup:
RS to pin 12
E to pin 11
D4, D5, D6, D7 to pins 11, 10, 9, 8 respectively
Connect VSS, RW, and K to GND.
Connect VDD and A to 5V with a resistor for contrast adjustment.
