Abstract

In the Technical progress that is happening now in the world, we

must keep pace with the scientific developments that are taking
place, and we are in the process of solving a problem that will
invade the world in the next few years, which is monitoring the
patient remotely. This means that you are the person in charge
of the patient who can monitor the patient’s condition from
anywhere, so let us start.

Chapter One Introduction
1.1Overview:

The story begins in 2005 in the Italian city of Ivrea, where

Massimo Banzi, in cooperation with David Cuartielles and
Gianluca Martino, launched the Arduino of Ivrea project, and
the project was named after the most famous historical figure in
the city. The main objective of the project was to create an open
source development environment for microcontrollers 100
percent. This project included the work of an integrated
development environment for microcontrollers, and it would be
free at the same time. It also included the work of development
boards of small size, at a small cost, currently about $ 27, so that
students and technical amateurs could afford the price. Until
2013, more than 700,000 Arduino boards. It is an electronic
development board consisting of an open source electronic
circuit with a microcontroller on one board that is programmed
by computer and is designed to make the process of using
interactive electronics in multidisciplinary projects more
accessible. Arduino is mainly used in the design of interactive
electronic projects or projects Which aims to build different
environmental sensors (such as temperature, wind, pressure,
10
Chapter One Introduction
etc.). Arduino can be connected to different programs on the PC.
Arduino relies in its programming on the open-source
programming language Processing, and the programming codes
of the Arduino language are distinguished by their similarity to
the C++ programming language, and it is considered one of the
easiest programming languages used in writing programs for
microcontrollers.

Chapter One Introduction
1.3The Problem Statement;

Internet of Things is a technological

paradigm which can be
incorporated in real time
patient monitoring system. The
review and implementation of real
time monitoring of patients
using biomedical sensors and
microcontroller is presented where
physiological parameters like
heart-rate, body temperature is
measured. This IoT prototype
could read the pulse rate and
15
Chapter One Introduction

measure the body temperature

updates them to things peak an IoT
platform
In our current era, it is necessary to keep pace with technological
developments, so we worked to solve the problem of monitoring
the patient's health condition from wherever you are and you are
not obligated to be by his side through the Internet of Things. The
Internet of Things is a technological model that can be integrated
into the patient monitoring system in real time. Patients are
presented with a review and implementation of real-time
monitoring using biomedical sensors and microcontrollers where
physiological parameters such as heart rate and body temperature
are measured. This IoT prototype can read the pulse rate and
measure the body temperature by updating it to the things that
peak in the IoT platform.
1.4 challenges
Despite the lack of time to do such a project that coincides
with his morning study of the materials and the cost of the
16
Chapter One Introduction
huge project, we decided to work throughout our free time
to complete it, and such projects need any sufficient time to
complete it.

1.5 Outline
In the first chapter, we talked about the introduction and
the challenges that we faced regarding the project and
the problem that was solved by the project. Therefore,
we will complete the theoretical part of the project in the
second chapter, the practical part in the third chapter,
conclusions and future works in the fourth chapter, and
the sources in the fifth and final chapter.

In chapter Two we well explain all the details of Practical part
Tools, devices , and any thing about the project so let do that:

2.2 Microcontrollers Type(UNO Wifi ESP8266);

There are many types of Arduino used, which is the main part in
building the project, as it is used to connect sensors and devices
to each other, so no project can be built without this piece, in our
current project we will use
"Arduino Uno Wifi Esp8266"

2.4 ECG Graph Monitoring Using AD8232 ECG Sensor:

Heart diseases are becoming a big issue for the last few decades
and many people die because of certain health problems.
Therefore, heart disease cannot be taken lightly. So there should be
a technology that can monitor the heart rate and heart behavior of
the patient regularly. By analyzing or monitoring the ECG signal at
the initial stage the various heart disease can be prevented.

This is the reason why I am presenting you with this great IoT
project.

Chapter Two Theory Part

3.1 Introduction:

In the first and second chapters, we talked about the theoretical part, the
introduction part to this project, and we will complete the practical part
in this chapter, so let's start:

3.2 The Proposed System:

In the following diagram, a simple explanation of what is being applied in
reality. We note that the project is integrated in terms of tools and devices.
The microcontroller is linked to an “ECG” sensor.
They are connected to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller sends the
results via the phone and via the Internet by connecting it to the Internet and
bluetooth to the doctor to know the patient’s condition as in Figure (3.1)

Chapter Two Theory Part

3.2.1 Microcontrollers Type(UNO Wifi ESP8266)

Here we refer to the type of Microcontrollers used in the process of building

the project. The Microcontrollers will contain an Internet chip so that we can
connect it to the Internet. The microcontroller circuit is connected with the
sensors in order to take the necessary information from it and give it power.
After that, the information will be read on a screen, so we can send this
information to the person Responsible for the patient via the Internet or via
the bluetooth.

3.2.4 ECG Graph Monitoring Using AD8232 ECG Sensor:

The ECG signal is analyzed or monitored at the initial stage of the disease. So
we present this project i.e. ECG Monitoring using ECG Sensor AD8232 and
Microcontrollers with ECG ECG. The AD8232 is a nifty little chip used to
measure the electrical activity of the heart. This electrical activity can be
charted as an electrocardiogram or electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram
(ECG) is used to help diagnose various heart conditions.

25
Chapter Two Theory Part

3.2.8 Output:

The information obtained from the sensors, passing through the

microcontroller, is displayed on the phone. It will simulate the patient’s
condition for us, and then the messages are sent to the doctor remotely via
the Internet or via bluetooth.

Iraqi universities, especially IT live.

4.2 Future Works:

The experience of the project was very special for us and in it we all cooperated
to make this project a success. Therefore, we look forward to working on such
projects in the future, and to complete such projects, we must work in one spirit
and the unity of the collective team. of projects
