Week 7 FYP1: Continuous the research of journal and attend a Workshop 3

Update for week 7: 28 Sept 2021

For the 7th week, I have continued doing the research on the related journals for my progress of FYP writing proposal. Here are the links and summary of the journal for the literature review reference:

JOURNAL:

1.  IOT BASED HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

• From this article, it stated that IoT monitoring of health helps in preventing the spread of disease as well as to get a proper diagnosis of the state of health, even if the doctor is at a far distance. Next, to build this project, they are using two important components such as sensor and a microcontroller.  The type of sensors that use to monitor the basics of patient healths is the body temperature sensor, pulse rate sensor, room temperature, and humidity sensor. Then, this sensor was linked to a microcontroller device to track the status which is thus interfaced to an LCD screen and additionally remote association with having the capacity to exchange alarms. The measuring data are then transmitted through an IoT cloud to the base station. From the base station, the values are then accessed by the doctor at any other location.

      2. AN IOT BASED PATIENT HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM USING ARDUINO UNO

• Through this journal, it mentioned that the combination of IoT with Arduino is the new way of introducing the Internet of Things in the Health care monitoring system of patients. Besides, they also use an Arduino Uno board, to collects data from the sensors and transfer it wirelessly to the IoT website. They are using Arduino ATMEGA 328P because It is a great open-source microcontroller platform that allows electronic enthusiasts to build quickly, easily, and with low-cost small automation and monitoring projects. Other than that, Arduino components could help to collect the required parameters like temperature, heartbeat, and blood pressure and evaluate the data obtained from the IoT devices. For components of the sensor,  it uses common base components to check patients' condition such as Blood pressure sensor, Temperature sensor, etc.

      3.  HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM USING IOT

• An overview of this journal, it can be listed to several components that are used in the production of the project. There are:   
  *Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller development board
  *ADS1292r ECG shield
  *LM35 industrial grade temperature sensor
  *ESP8266 Wi-Fi controller chipset
  *and LCD Display. 
  
• The uses of the ECG shield and LM35 will be generating analog output, so it can be interfaced with the analog pins of Arduino Mega.

• Next, for the system development, they are using ZigBee based wearable physiological parameters monitoring device. The system can be used to monitor physiological parameters, such as the heart rate and temperature of a human body. cost. Zigbee is also preferred over Bluetooth and infrared wireless communication because it is energy efficient, has low cost, and has a long-distance range.

       4. IOT BASED PATIENT HELATH MONITORING SYSTEM

• In this article, the microcontroller is used as a gateway for communication. The system of this project is similar to other project Health Monitoring in other journal, which is uses a sensors to trace patient health. The sensors are connected to a microcontroller to trace the status of the patient which in turn is interfaced with LCD display. They are using  Arduino UNO components because is a free source microcontroller based on the microchip at Mega 328p. 
  
• Next, other type of sensor that being use in this journal is:
  
  A. Temperature sensor (LM35 series)
  The LM35 series are integrated circuit temperature sensors, whose output voltage is linearly    proportional to the Centigrade temperature
  
B. Heartbeat sensor 
Heart beat sensor is used to give digital output of pulse rate when a finger is placed on it.

C. Respiratori sensor
Respiration sensor calculates the breathing rate and relative depth of abdominal or  thoracic breathing.


• For the existing system of transferring data, it also uses Zigbee platform to transmit the patient information to the medical team such as doctors and nurse.

For the conclusion, based on the stated journal,it can be see that there a lot of variety components can be use in the project making especially related to a signal dan data processing. Example, for Arduino components, it shows the comparison of the performance based on their specific model such as ATMEGA 328P and  Mega 2560. It may come from a same sources which is Arduino, but every series has their own speciality that given a different function in the project system. This comparison is really helping me to choose a better device for the making of my project. 

Week 6 FYP1: Research of Journal

Update for week 6:

In week 6, I was assigned to find and do a little bit of research on IoT systems-related journals on my FYP project. Through this method of reading, it can help me create some new ideas, give a little insight into the system used, as a guide and reference, and others things.

Some of the information that I gather through the reading is:

Internet of Things (IoT) can be described as the communication platform that was connected people with a lot of things such as smart gadgets, sensors, cars, houses, also between the human, etc. IoT will make your work more efficient, faster, accurate, systematic, easier, and most importantly it can reduce your time. Besides that, the technologies of IoT are for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. 

IoT can be classified into are few categories:

1. Receive data and work on it

2. Gather the information and send it back

3. Things that perform both functionalities

Furthermore, IoT also can be applied to a few of industries sector:

1. Manufacturing

2. Automotive

3. Transportation and Logistics

4. Retail

5. Public Sector

6. Healthcare

7. General Safety Across All Industries

In my scenario, my project is more focusing on the implementation of IoT into the Healthcare section. The system of IoT will gather and transfer the information of patient conditions, through the internet to a receiver such as laptops, smartphones, and computers. The person who was handling this item which is the medical team will get a notification about the status of patient health. The benefit from this system, it will reduce the time taking of transferring data than using the manual system, contactless to patients, and reduce the number of humans working.

Week 4 FYP1: Register Title of FYP Project

Update for week 4:

Wednesday, on first September 2021 at 3.30 pm, I have met with my supervisor to do a meeting and further discussion on my new project ideas. Through the meeting this evening, I have recommended a new title that was related to the current condition right now. These ideas were come out when I observing the situation that the medical team and patients of covid -19 have to face when they were staying at quarantine centers. Because of that, I have prepared a few pieces of information while doing the research on this title, for a better understanding to me, my supervisor also for my blog reader. There it's:

1. Sinopsis of the project:

The title: DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM WITH IOT FOR COVID PATIENT AT QUARANTINE CENTER, 

Sinopsis: It brings the meaning is, the health monitoring system has been transforming into a new system, together with the current technology IoT (Internet of Things), as a system for collect and transmit data using the internet, to electronic devices such a fon, table, laptop, etc.
The system will be used at the quarantine center covid-19 patients, to monitor their health status (BP, oxygen, heartbeat). After that, the result of the measurement will be transferred to the medical team using IoT technology. Furthermore, the advantage of this system is, the medical staff will have less contact with the positive patient, therefore it will reduce the risk of being infected. 

2. Problem Statement from this project:

• Doctors need to regularly monitor patient health.
• There is an increasing number of patients for the doctors to monitor.
• Doctors and nurses are at high risk to get infections.
• Patients have to wait a long time to make routine health check-ups. 

3. Objectives:

• To gets the instant alert in case of health fluctuations or emergencies.
• To reduces the time of check-ups for patients.
• To reduces the risk of getting an infection, especially for the medical team.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, my supervisor has agreed to approve this title project to be realized as a new product for the final year project. For the next agenda, I have been tasked to do some reading and collecting some data on the related journals and articles of these projects. These tips are very useful for improving your knowledge and understanding while going through the process of making a new product.
