Solution
pH levels can be crucial in indicating the health of a patient for example high pH levels in urine
samples can indicate a urinary tract infection. As a result, there is a need to detect pH changes in
real time, especially in high-risk patients who are at danger of developing a UTI as a result of
catheter insertion. Currently, pH changes are identified by collecting and analyzing urine or
blood samples; however, this is a time-consuming and inefficient process that makes it difficult
to diagnose diseases early on. In order to combat this we propose the use of an arduino based pH
sensor that can test the pH levels of an aqueous solution on demand and deliver faster results
compared to traditional laboratory methods. Our design would include the Arduino circuit board
and an analog pH meter connected to the board. Once the device is constructed it will be
connected to a computer for the power source and for the sensor to run the code developed in the
Arduino application to carry out the proper functions to read the pH levels of the solutions being
tested. Essentially, the input of our sensor will be the pH that the pH meter detects and the output
will be displaying the pH value using the serial print function and a light bulb turning red, blue
or green depending on whether the pH is acidic, basic or neutral.

Brief description: This analog pH meter with built-in simple, convenient, and practical
connection and functionality, is specifically made for Arduino controllers. It comes with a Power
Indicator LED, a BNC connector, and a PH2.0 sensor interface. To use it, one must connect the
pH sensor to the BNC connector and plug the pH 2.0 interface into any Arduino controller's
analog input port. However, in order for it to work properly, the appropriate Arduino code must
be applied.
