the death rate in Indonesia was 1,551,000 people, of which
37% of the death rate was caused by heart disease [4]–[7].
The heart is one of the most important organs of the
human body, because the heart functions as a pump for the
entire body through blood vessels. When blood is pumped

Figure 1: Block diagram of system architecture
The following is a brief explanation of how the block
diagram in Fig. works. 1 based on each block.

1. A 220-volt AC power supply enters the power supply of

the equipment to activate all the components in the tool.
2. Arduino board is a data processing source that will
control the work of this design tool. The Arduino board
module will control the work functions of the LCD,
heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, and the internet.
And process the data that has been obtained to be
displayed on the LCD, web and android applications.
3. The heart rate sensor here serves to detect the human
heart rate. Where the data that has been obtained is sent
to Arduino to be reprocessed and displayed on the LCD
4. The thermocouple sensor as a temperature sensor will
function to read body temperature from the condition of
the patient being examined. The temperature
measurement results obtained will be sent to the
Arduino and the data is displayed on the LCD.
5. Arduino internet sends data that has been obtained to a
cellphone to be displayed on an android application that
has been programmed and the data is displayed on a
computer web to make it easier for doctors, nurses, and
families to monitor patient conditions.

While the process flow of the hardware made in this study

can be seen in Fig. 2. Figure 2: Hardware flowchart
