Real Time Multi Patient Health Monitoring System using
Arduino and IOT
Introduction-
As Engineers/Developers we always rely upon the data collected to design or improve a
system. Recording data and analysing them is a common practice in most of the industries,
here we are building Arduino Data Logger Project where we will learn how we can log data
at a specific interval of time. In this project we are going to measure Heart Beat, ECG,
Blood Pressure and Temperature of multi patient and monitor the system using Arduino that
will detect the heart beat using the Pulse Sensor, blood pressure using pressure sensor and
body temperature using temperature sensor and will show the readings in BPM (Beats Per
Minute) on the LCD connected to it. It will also send the readings to Thing Speak server
using the Wi-Fi module ESP8266, so that Heart Beats can be monitored from anywhere in
the world over the internet. Thing Speak is a great source for displaying the data online and
you can access the data from Thing Speak at any time and at any place.

As shown in the circuit diagram the connections are very simple since we have used them as
modules we can directly build them on a breadboard.

Components Required-
1. Pulse sensor
2. Wi-Fi module ESP8266
3. Arduino Uno
4. LCD
5. Bread Board
6. 10k potentiometer
7. 1k resistors
8. 220 ohm resistors
9. LED
10. Connecting wires
11. Temperature sensor
Software Required
1. Arduino 1.8.2
2. Proteus

Circuit Diagram and Explanation-

First of all we will connect the ESP8266 with the Arduino. ESP8266 runs on 3.3V and if
you will give it 5V from the Arduino then it won’t work properly and it may get damage.
Connect the VCC and the CH_PD to the 3.3V pin of Arduino. The RX pin of ESP8266
works on 3.3V and it will not communicate with the Arduino when we will connect it
directly to the Arduino. So, we will have to make a voltage divider for it which will convert
the 5V into 3.3V. This can be done by connecting three resistors in series like we did in the
circuit. Connect the TX pin of the ESP8266 to the pin 9 of the Arduino and the RX pin of
the ESP8266 to the pin 10 of Arduino through the resistors.
ESP8266 Wi-Fi module gives your projects access to Wi-Fi or internet. It is a very cheap
device and make your projects very powerful. It can communicate with any microcontroller
and it is the most leading devices in the IOT platform. Learn more about using ESP8266
with Arduino here.
Then connect the Pulse Sensor with the Arduino. The connections of the pulse
sensor are very easy. Pulse sensor has three pins. Connect 5V and the ground pin of the
pulse sensor to the 5V and the ground of the Arduino and the signal pin to the A0 of
Arduino.

Then connect the LED to pin 13 of Arduino. You do not have to connect a resistor with
because the Arduino has built in resistor at pin 13.
In last, we will connect LCD with the Arduino. The connections of the LCD are as follows:
1. Connect pin 1 (VEE) to the ground.
2. Connect pin 2 (VDD or VCC) to the 5V.
3. Connect pin 3 (V0) to the middle pin of the 10K potentiometer and connect the other
two ends of the potentiometer to the VCC and the GND. The potentiometer is used to
control the screen contrast of the LCD. Potentiometer of values other than 10K will
work too.
4. Connect pin 4 (RS) to the pin 12 of the Arduino.
5. Connect pin 5 (Read/Write) to the ground of Arduino. This pin is not often used so we
will connect it to the ground.
6. Connect pin 6 (E) to the pin 11 of the Arduino. The RS and E pin are the control pins
which are used to send data and characters.
7. The following four pins are data pins which are used to communicate with the Arduino.
8. Connect pin 11 (D4) to pin 5 of Arduino.
9. Connect pin 12 (D5) to pin 4 of Arduino.
10. Connect pin 13 (D6) to pin 3 of Arduino.
11. Connect pin 14 (D7) to pin 2 of Arduino.
12. Connect pin 15 to the VCC through the 220 ohm resistor. The resistor will be used to
set the back light brightness. Larger values will make the back light much more darker.
13. Connect pin 16 to the Ground.

Working Explanation-
First we need to attach the Pulse Sensor to any organ of body where it can detect the pulse
easily like finger, check the video below. Then the Pulse Sensor will measure the change in
volume of blood, which occurs when every time heart pumps blood in the body.
This change in volume of blood causes a change in the light intensity through that organ.
The Arduino will then convert this change into the heart beat per minute (BPM). The LED
connected at pin 13 will also blink according the Heart Beat.
The ESP8266 will then communicate with the Arduino and will send the data to
Thing Speak. The ESP8266 will connect the network of your router that you will provide in
the code and will send the data of the sensor online. This data on the Thing Speak will be
shown in a Graph form showing the past readings too and can be accessed from anywhere
over internet. The LCD connected will also show you the BPM.

Applications-
1. Human work load decreases.
Cost – Rs. 3000 approx.
