 ABSTRACT

Currently, automation is incorporated to increase safety and health related issues which
could prove a great help to certain ill-health people or people who are incapable of
visiting doctor on a regular basis. Hence, it is convenient to integrate certain subsystems
which help to constantly examine a person’s health aspects and to let the concerned
people like guardians or doctors get informed if health gets worse. The proposed device
is formed by assimilation of sensors like pulse sensor, accelerometer and temperature
sensor. The sensorwill constantly measure the parameters detected by the sensors and
forwards the result to the android application. The android application tracks down the
values.The value of each parameter will be compared with a threshold valuebeyond
which if the parameters reach, the person’s health is considered ill. Values beyond the
threshold will be sent through a message to those people who were registered.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Nowadays automation is required in almost everything. People want to perform task
sitting at home and obtain results. Keeping the aspects in mind, we thought of creating a
smart health monitoring device. The wearable device makes it easier for people to
encapsulate data into the device regarding health related parameters. The obtained results
can be forwarded to concerned people through a message showing the conveniency of the
device.

1.2 Problem Definition

The project was developed keeping in mind providing ease to people regarding
management of health related issues that are needed to be kept in constant observation.
People require to constantly examining health in order to stay healthy and stay away from
incurring heavy diseases like heart attack, diabetes, blood pressure and similar diseases.
Implementing a wearable allows automated monitoring of help without requiring external
help. In critical conditions, the concerned guardians must be informed.

1.3 Motivation
Health is the biggest factor in anyone’s life. Good health is the key to a better life. But the
number of healthy people is deteriorating day by day. If we don’t take steps, nothing will
change. One might need to measure their temperature, measure the calories burnt while
walking or running or measure or heart rate, one need to evaluate them separately using
the devices like thermometer, pedometers and heart-rate sensors. One may need to go to
the doctor daily for getting their health checked. Hence, the idea of developing a wearable
device to measure the health parameters comes into existence. A wearable hardware
accumulates different sensors onto a single device for which one does not need to exert
different instruments to evaluate the mentioned parameters. A person himself can monitor
the data resulted continuously which will help him/her to take preventive actions. For
example, if the heart rate is showing a gradual decrease in past week, a person can
manage his/her diet and daily routine in order to bring the heart rate back to normal.

1.4 Scope
This project aims to monitor different health related parameters of a person by using
multiple sensors and logs the data on an Android phone. The problems that are perceived
using the device are then enumerated. If due to any reason the persons health becomes
critical then the family members of the person are informed about it.

CHAPTER 2 SYSTEM PLANNING

2.1 Project Development Approach

Each project need to be developed with software model which makes the project with
high quality, reliable and cost effective.

2.1.1 Spiral model

The spiral model combines the idea of iterative development with the systematic,
controlled aspects of the waterfall model. Spiral model is a combination of iterative
development process model and sequential linear development model i.e. waterfall
model with very high emphasis on risk analysis. It allows for incremental releases of
the product, or incremental refinement through each iteration around the spiral. The
spiral model has four phases. A software project repeatedly passes through these
phases in iterations called Spirals.

Identification:This phase starts with gathering the business requirements in the

baseline spiral. In the subsequent spirals as the product matures, identification of
system requirements, subsystem requirements and unit requirements are all done in
this phase. This also includes understanding the system requirements by continuous
communication between the customer and the system analyst.

Design: Design phase starts with the conceptual design in the baseline spiral and
involves architectural design, logical design of modules, physical product design and
final design in the subsequent spirals.

Construct or Build: Construct phase refers to production of the actual software

product at every spiral. In the baseline spiral when the product is just thought of and
the design is being developed a POC (Proof of Concept) is developed in this phase to
get customer feedback. Then in the subsequent spirals with higher clarity on
requirements and design details a working model of the software called build is
produced with a version number. These builds are sent to customer for feedback.

Evaluation and Risk Analysis: Risk Analysis includes identifying, estimating, and
monitoring technical feasibility and management risks, such as schedule slippage and
cost overrun. After testing the build, at the end of first iteration, the customer
evaluates the software and provides feedback.

2.1.2 Idea behind using the Spiral Model

With the idea of having more accurate system, comes the construction of preliminary
design of the system. After having the design constructed, the first module is
implemented. But the implementation should match the product expectations.
Keeping in mind the efficiency and product accuracy, many prototypes are build that
can meet the needs. Hence, spiral model is the best fit for the system thereby
fulfilling all the needs.

2.1.3 Advantages of Spiral model

1) Changing requirements can be accommodated.

2) Allows for extensive use of prototypes

3) Requirements can be captured more accurately.

4) Users see the system early.

5) Development can be divided into smaller parts and more risky parts can be
developed earlier which helps better risk management.

2.2 System Modules

2.2.1 Hardware Module

- Arduino Nano: It is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly open-source
electronic prototyping board based on the ATmega328 microcontroller. It uses inputs
and outputs in the same way an ordinary computer does. Inputs capture information
from the user or the environment while outputs do something with the information
that has been captured. An input could be digital or analog, and could come form the
environment or a user. Outputs can control and turn on and off device.

Figure 2-1 Arduino Nano [1]

CGPIT/ CE_06 3
 Health Monitoring Wearable Device

- Temperature Sensor (Thermistor): A thermistor is a thermal resistor - a resistor that

changes its resistance with temperature. Technically, all resistors are thermistors - their
resistance changes slightly with temperature - but the change is usually very small and
difficult to measure. Thermistors are made so that the resistance changes drastically with
temperature. Thermistor temperature range -55°C to 125°C.

Figure 2-2 Thermistor [2]

- Pulse Sensor: The Pulse Sensor Amped is a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor. It

essentially combines a simple optical heart rate sensor with amplification and noise
cancellation circuitry making it fast and easy to get reliable pulse readings.

Figure 2-3 Pulse Sensor [3]

- Accelerometer (ADXL-335):The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-

axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures
acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static
acceleration of gravity in tilt sensing applications

Figure 2-4 ADXL335 Accelerometer [4]

- Bluetooth Module (HC-05):HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial

Port Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup.It can
easily transfer the UART data through the wireless Bluetooth, without complex PCB
layout or deep knowledge in the Bluetooth software stack.

3.3 Activity Diagram

Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow form one activity to
another activity. The activity can be described as an operation of the system. So the
control flow is drawn from one operation to another. Activity diagrams are not only used
for visualizing dynamic nature of a system but they are also used to construct the
executable system by using forward and reverse engineering techniques.

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

In the present world, health related issues are the major concern. People especially seniors
do not monitor their health as frequently as they seriously should. The proposed system
enables people to examine their health related parameters on their own without anyone’s
help or visiting doctors. The basic idea behind Health Monitoring Wearable Device is to
have the convenience of wireless wearable device while remaining fashionably sound.
However, certain bugs are there. The future work on this project is to work on the
accuracy of the device and extension of more health related parameters in the same device
while keeping the size of the device small. The project can be extended to a level such
that it can be used by more and more number of people.
