1.0 Introduction
The benefit of Monitoring the blood pressure at home gives the patient an extra
advantage to have a stronger sense of responsibility for the patients' heath; it also helps the doctor
diagnose high blood pressure earlier than if the patient has only occasional blood pressure
readings in the hospital. Sometimes other patients have normal blood pressure at the hospital but
elevated elsewhere. Monitoring the Blood Pressure at home can help the patient determine if they
have high blood pressure or are just nervous in the hospital. Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
allows the patient to have a better understanding of hypertension Management. Also, it will help
the patient to lessen the number of visits to the doctor or hospital. The researchers wanted to help
the community by creating a wearable device that can Monitor the patients' Temperature and
Monitor Blood Pressure with an application that will transfer the patients' data to the doctor.
These will benefit both patient and doctor; this device will make it easier for the doctors to
monitor their patients in real-time. And for the patient, they will have a hassle-free for monitoring
their temperature and blood pressure.
In this pandemic many people are still afraid to leave their homes because there are small
possibilities that they may become infected with COVID19 especially senior citizens, they are
highly prone with any diseases especially of the COVID19. Wherein the researchers came up
with this study to prevent or to lessen the possibility of senior citizens going out to attend their
health check-ups because many of us still did not know if someone has the Covid-19 if the
particular person tested positive in that said virus.
Most of the malls, public places or other establishments use a temperature scanner to
check if the person has the symptoms of Covid-19 by checking their temperature, checking
temperature is part of the protocol by the government because if someone with a high temperature
is possibly Covid-19 infected.

1.1 Objective of the Study
1.1.1 General Objectives

The general objective of study aims to develop the “IOT BASED TEMPERATURE
AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING” that will help a lot of Hospitals and Clinics to keep
updated for their Senior Citizen patients time to time.
1.1.2 Specific Objectives

The specific objectives of the study:
1. To design a Wearable Device to Monitor the Blood pressure and Temperature of the
Patient using Arduino and IOT Based System that transfer graphical data to the Doctors.
2. To create a prototype system that will lessen senior citizens going out and go to their
proper hospitals.
3. To build a database that will record the data history of the patient.
4. To test the accuracy of develop prototype using gray box testing.
5. To evaluate the system using the ISO2510 software evaluation.
1.2 Scope and Limitations

To help the doctors of certain hospitals check their senior citizen patients time to time.
The IOT Based system will satisfy the doctors and especially the patient that they don’t need to
go out for their health check-up. This IOT Based Temperature and Blood Pressure Monitoring
will be introduced all around the hospitals in Philippines to make the Monitoring easier even the
patient is at their home. This study will be able to help patients, especially senior citizens and
health workers around the Philippines particularly during the pandemic. The interaction between
the patient and doctor is held through application, also the patient is going to prepare the wearable
device and the application with themselves only nevertheless the doctor will give them
instructions to guide what to do with the researchers proposed project and also the researchers
add the BPM (beat per minute) feature which is connected to their blood pressure condition. The
wearable device can be use offline or without the application.
The system may take time to be completed due to the current pandemic which limits the
researchers in developing the system. The doctor can consult limited numbers of patient or base
on their capability to monitor patients. The Doctor can only register the patient to continue the
long distance monitoring consultation and for the added the patient will only rent the wearable
5
11/23/2021 Version 2
device to the doctor who will do the consultation to them. To have an accurate measurement, the
user of device need to make sure it fits well on their forearm before using it.
1.3 Significance of the Study

The findings of this study may be beneficial to specific groups or individuals, and the
following are the benefits that they will receive. The researchers' study will benefit the hospital,
doctor, and patient because this study will prevent some patients from going and prevent the
overcapacity hospital due to covid19 or other diseases. The importance of the researchers' study
for patients is to monitor the blood pressure and temperature of the patient. The primary role of
the application of the system is to send the monitored blood pressure and temperature to the
doctor. When the doctor's findings for the patient are high for blood pressure and temperature, it
is the sign that the patient needs to go to the hospital personally.
Patients. This project will provide an easy way of performing self-check-ups when the patient is
away from their assigned health worker. The portability of the system provides convenience for
the patient as it does not require connecting into a wire in order to use it. Patients, especially
seniors are more vulnerable to medical issues, can use it to monitor their health in case some
complications occur.
Health Workers. This project will benefit health workers gain an understanding to their patient
with the use of the system’s real time monitoring and historical data records. They will be able to
use the data to diagnose accurately and make better decisions for the patient. They can offer a
wireless monitoring system to their patient if their health is still in need to be monitored but
doesn’t require being present in the hospital.
Community. This project can benefit the general public, whether it is for children, teenagers,
adults, and elderly. It will also benefit individuals, particularly seniors who do not want to go
outside to attend their health check-ups because of the current situation which is the pandemic.
This project will also be user friendly; this means, even those who does not have certain
knowledge to technology, they will still be able to use the device.
Future Researchers. This project can be useful to researchers who have a similar idea if they
need to develop a system like this. They can cite topics or information from the current study that
6
11/23/2021 Version 2
will relate to theirs. This would help future researchers explore and become knowledgeable of the
processes involved in making wearable monitoring device, and it will serve as a potential
guideline for more research in the future.

2.0 Review of Related Literatures and Studies
2.1 Related Literature
2.1.1 Foreign Literature

(Wu & Luo, 2019)
Prevention of Diseases and Maintenance of Health
Fall Identification and Prevention
In many countries, providing care to an aging population has become a significant
challenge. For example, the number of Americans 65 and older will grow from about 49
million in 2018 to approximately 100 million in 2060 (Vespa, Armstrong, & Medina,
2018). The World Health Organization expects that the global elderly population 60 or
older will rise to 2 billion by 2050 (World Health Organization (WHO), 2015). The aging
population has increased risks for chronic conditions, falls, disabilities and other adverse
health outcomes (Ambrose, Paul, & Hausdorff, 2013). Providing preventive interventions
to the aged population to improve health outcomes has become an important research and
development topic. Wearable devices could be used to address some of the challenges
related to detecting and managing adverse health conditions in aging populations.
Wearable devices have great potential to be used in fall prevention among older adults.
Falls occur in 30% to 60% of older adults each year, and 10% to 20% result in injury,
hospitalization or death (Rubenstein, 2006). For the elderly people in the USA, falls lead
to four to 12 days of hospital stay per fall (Bouldin, et al., 2013). Recent studies have
focused on developing wearable devices and associated algorithms to collect and analyze
gait (manner of walking) data for fall prevention (Awais, et al., 2016).
In research settings, the performance of fall detection using wearable devices has already
achieved considerable good results. For example, one study developed a solution to
recognize walking and activities (González, Fontecha, Hervás, & Bravo, 2015). The
study used a genetic algorithm and two triaxle accelerometer bracelets to detect walking
patterns that could lead to disruptive events, such as falling and seizure onset. (Pannurat,
Thiemjarus, & Nantajeewarawat, 2017) presented a method to detect a fall at different
phases using a wireless accelerometer and classification algorithms. Their evaluation
results showed an 86% and 91% accuracy for fall pre-impact and post-impact detection.
8
11/23/2021 Version 2
(Chia-Yeh Hsieh, Huang, Chu, & Chan, 2017) developed a novel hierarchical fall
detection system using accelerometer devices on the waist. The results showed that the
system achieved a high accuracy at 99% in identifying fall events. Similarly, (Gibson,
Amira, Ramzan, Casaseca-de-la-Higuera, & Pervez, 2017) presented a fall detection
system using a database of fall and daily activities. Their method used the Shimmer
biomedical device on the chest to collect data. The detection signals were extracted using
compress sensing and principal component analysis techniques. The obtained binary tree
classifiers achieved 99% precision in identifying fall events. These studies were
performed in research laboratory settings. A recent study (Awais, Palmerini, & Chiari,
2016) compared and evaluated the performance of wearable sensors in classifying
physical activities for older adults in real-life and in-lab scenarios. This study found that
systems developed in a controlled lab setting might not be able to perform well in real-
life conditions. Therefore, new systems should be tested in real-life conditions.
Physical Activity and Interaction Monitoring

Prolonged sedentary behavior is associated with many adverse health outcomes. To
investigate whether reminders could change student posture and positively influence their
wellbeing, (Frank, Jacobs, & McLoone, 2017) designed wearable device-based system to
monitor student activities. Vibration reminders were sent through the wearable devices
after 20 minutes of sitting. The results show that the strategy was effective in changing
student behavior, although the health effects of this change were inconclusive.
(Choo, Dettman, Dowell, & Cowan, 2017) evaluated the effectiveness of using wearable
devices and smartphones for tracking language patterns. The study conducted a Language
Environment Analysis (LENA) using a language-tracking wearable device to collect
mother-child communication data. The collected data were used to provide feedback to
mothers about the communication pattern. The after-study evaluation showed that
mothers had a positive response to the device and felt that the communication data
collected by the wearable device provided useful information to improve mother-child
communication.
Mental Status Monitoring
9
11/23/2021 Version 2
Developing wearable devices and algorithms to monitor mental conditions is a relatively

new domain. Some wearable devices are equipped with sensors that can detect human
physiology status, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, or other complex
vital signs (e.g. electrocardiograms). Using these signals, new systems can be developed
to monitor mental conditions. Stress detection is the most common application of such
systems.
To detect stress patterns of children, (Choi, Jeon, Wang, & Kim, 2017) proposed a
framework using wearable devices and machine learning-based techniques. The wearable
devices collected both audio and heart rate signals for stress detection. The framework
has a potential to be used to remotely monitor child safety through stress patterns. The
study results showed that by combining audio and heart rate signals, the system had a
better performance in fighting noise signals when compared with audio-only methods.
Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one machine learning method. The accuracy of the
best algorithm (SVM+Wrapper) is 93.47%. A study by (Setz, Arnrich, Schumm, Marca,
Tröster, & Ehlert, 2010) showed that even simple electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors
have the capacity to identify stress level. An EDA sensor can measure skin conductance,
which usually is correlated with the stress level of a person. They described how a Swiss
team developed an EDA-based system called Emotion Board. The system can collect and
measure skin conductance signals. The collected signals were processed using linear
discriminant analysis (LDA) and an SVM-based classifier was used to detect stress. The
evaluation on 33 subjects showed that the maximum accuracy was 82.8%.
Sports Medicine
Wearable devices can help athletes or coaches to systematically manage athletic training
and matches. For example, (Skazalski, Whiteley, Hansen, & Bahr, 2018) used
commercially available wearable devices as a valid and reliable method to monitor the
jump load of elite volleyball players and to measure jump-specific training and
competition load in the players’ jumps. The results of this study also indicate that the
devices showed excellent jump height detection capacities. The wearable devices can
monitor functional movements, workloads, heart rate, etc., so they may be more widely
used in sport medicine to maximize performance and minimize injury.
(Chen, Lin, Lan, & Hsu, 2018) developed a method to monitor and detect heat stroke. Heat
stroke can harm people when they are doing exercises in hot temperatures. The team
proposed a fuzzy logic-based method for inferencing signals collected from multiple
10
11/23/2021 Version 2
wearable devices, environmental temperatures and humidity sensors. The experimental

results showed that the system can be used to monitor heat stroke risk and alert users.
Weight Control and Monitoring

Tracking physical activities using wearable devices has become a popular method to help
people assess activity intensity and calories expended. There is a growing interest among
health consumers to use wearable devices, especially consumer wearable devices, to track
weight control activities and outcomes. A study by (Dooley, Golaszewski, &
Bartholomew, 2017) compared and validated three major consumer devices for
measuring exercise intensities. The study devices included Fitbit Charge HR, Apple
Watch, and Garmin Forerunner 225. The project enrolled 62 participants aged 18-38 and
measured their heart rates and energy expenditures using all three devices. A hypothetical
ideal "gold standard" test had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100%. The study
showed a high magnitude of errors across all devices when compared to the gold
standard. This study indicated that these devices might be useful as a stimulus to increase
activity, but they have limitations as a tracking and outcome measurement method.
Although there are studies that show that wearable devices can be used as a stimulus
mechanism to increase user activities, there is still a lack of evidence-based studies to
validate the use of wearable device for the outcome of weight loss. A recent randomized
clinical trial was conducted in Korea to examine the effectiveness of using wearable
devices and smartphones to reduce childhood obesity (Wu, Chen, Yang, & Li, 2017).
The project aimed to enroll a thousand 5th- and 6th-grade students to assess a wearable
device-based intervention system called “Happy Me.” The outcome measures of the trial
were behavioral changes (e.g. physical activity, healthy eating) and anthropometric
changes (e.g. body weight, body mass index, waist circumference). The results of the
study attempted to provide scientific evidence for the effectiveness of using a wearable
device system for weight control.
2.1.2 Local Literature

(KC Wearable, 2020)
MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The KC N901 Smart Helmet,
developed by leading technology and innovation company KC Wearable, will be made
11
11/23/2021 Version 2
available in the Philippines for the first time. KC Wearable has announced partnerships
with two new distributors, My Solid Technologies & Devices Corporation and Medcare
Supplies, meaning the wearable COVID-19 symptom detector will be widely available in
the country.
The Philippines has one of the highest infection rates in South East Asia, with more than
200,000 cases confirmed so far. As new cases continue to emerge, interest the wearable
thermal detection device has grown. The KC Smart Helmet allows users to screen
multiple individuals for a key symptom of COVID-19 at once, helping to stop the spread
of the virus.
The helmet can detect fevers, the most prevalent COVID-19 symptom, with 96%
accuracy. Unlike traditional static thermal cameras, the wearable headset improves the
efficiency and flexibility of COVID-19 screening, enabling the user to freely move
around an area. The helmet can scan up to 200 people a minute, making it well suited to
public settings like transport hubs, hospitals or parks.
Powered by sophisticated augmented reality technology, the helmet visor's thermo-scan

sensors show the temperature of people in real time. The helmet is effective within a
seven-metre radius, enabling the wearer to maintain social distancing at all time, and has
the potential to link up to other data on COVID-19 tracking apps. The device stores all
data itself with a 64GB internal memory.
Local distributor My Solid Technologies & Devices Corporation forms part of Solid
Group Inc., a publicly listed holding company with operations in distribution, real estate,
support services and investments. Working closely with KC Wearable, the company will
assist in dispensing the pioneering smart helmet in continued efforts to reduce the spread
of the virus across the Philippines.
Beyond the Philippines, the helmet is already in use in more than 35 countries, including
Indonesia, the UAE, Italy, Netherlands, Kuwait, Chile, Turkey and multiple African
countries. KC Wearable has partnered with national authorities and major transport hubs
such as airports, as well as schools and hospitals, to detect COVID-19 symptoms in a
range of settings.
12
11/23/2021 Version 2
(Dr Jie Guo, Global Head of KC Wearable), said: "At KC Wearable, our mission has
always been to do everything possible to reduce the spread of this life-threatening
disease, as well as the devastating impact that it is having on societies across the globe.
With a high fever being a common COVID-19 symptom, the KC N901 Smart Helmet is a
quick, efficient and accurate way of identifying potential cases.
"We have already partnered with countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America
and seen positive results. So we are pleased to now be working with our distributors in
the Philippines to do what we can to bring some relief and reassurance to the country's
citizens and hope that we can help some elements of normal life return."
(Beda Mañalac, President of My Solid Technologies & Devices Corporation) said: "The
KC N901 Smart Helmet is an incredibly exciting innovation. As people in the Philippines
have looked to adapt to COVID-19, reliable and effective technology has become
increasingly important. The KC Smart Helmet provides our customers with a high-tech
way of screening for symptoms of the virus, helping to keep people safe and society
moving. The helmet's flexibility across a number of sectors including health and security
services makes it a natural choice in the fight against COVID-19. By distributing the
product, we hope to make an important contribution to our country's efforts to control the
virus."
2.2 Related Studies
2.2.3 Foreign Study

(Wu & Luo, 2019)
Wearable technologies enable the continuous monitoring of human physical

activities and behaviors, as well as physiological and biochemical parameters
during daily life. The most commonly measured data include vital signs such as
heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, as well as blood oxygen
saturation, posture, and physical activities through the use of electrocardiogram
(ECG), ballistocardiogram (BCG) and other devices. Potentially, wearable photo
or video devices could provide additional clinical information. Wearable devices
13
11/23/2021 Version 2
can be attached to shoes, eyeglasses, earrings, clothing, gloves and watches.

Wearable devices also may evolve to be skin-attachable devices. Sensors can be
embedded into the environment, such as chairs, car seats and mattresses. A
smartphone is typically used to collect information and transmit it to a remote
server for storage and analysis. There are two major types of wearable devices
that are used for studying gait patterns. Some devices have been developed for
healthcare professionals to monitor walking patterns, including the accelerometer,
multi-angle video recorders, and gyroscopes. Other devices have been developed
for health consumers, including on-wrist activity trackers (such as Fitbit) and
mobile phone apps and add-ons. Wearable devices and data analysis algorithms
are often used together to perform gait assessment tasks in different scenarios.
Wearable technologies can be innovative solutions for healthcare problems. In

this study, we conducted a literature review of wearable technology applications
in healthcare. Some wearable technology applications are designed for the
prevention of diseases and maintenance of health, such as weight control and
physical activity monitoring. Wearable devices are also used for patient
management and disease management. The wearable applications can directly
impact clinical decision-making. Some believe that wearable technologies could
improve the quality of patient care while reducing the cost of care, such as patient
rehabilitation outside of hospitals. The big data generated by wearable devices is
both a challenge and opportunity for researchers who can apply more AI
techniques on that data in the future.
A search in the PUBMED databases was performed in September 2018. All

papers containing the terms “wearable technologies” or “wearable devices” in the
title or abstract were identified. In addition, the search was limited to articles
whose publication dates were within 10 years (from 2008 to 2018). The abstracts
of these studies (n=1126) were then inspected to ascertain whether they contained
information about the “wearable technology applications in healthcare.” The
14
11/23/2021 Version 2
authors then reviewed those studies for information regarding wearable device
applications and identified 67 relevant papers.
(Dinh-Le, Chuang, Chokshi, & Mann, 2019) Due to the adoption of electronic health
records (EHRs) and legislation on meaningful use in recent decades, health
systems are increasingly interdependent on EHR capabilities, offerings, and
innovations to better capture patient data. A novel capability offered by health
systems encompasses the integration between EHRs and wearable health
technology. Although wearables have the potential to transform patient care,
issues such as concerns with patient privacy, system interoperability, and patient
data overload pose a challenge to the adoption of wearables by providers.
(Asian Scientist Newsroom, 2018) Scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea have developed a sensor for
detecting thermal comfort, designing it in the form of a watch. People naturally
sweat more during summer and less during winter. Sweat can therefore be an
excellent proxy for sensing core body temperature and thermal comfort.
(Muzny, et al., 2019) Wearable devices with an ability to collect various type of
physiological data are increasingly becoming seamlessly integrated into everyday
life of people. In the area of electronic health (eHealth), many of these devices
provide remote transfer of health data, as a result of the increasing need for
ambulatory monitoring of patients. This has a potential to reduce the cost of care
due to prevention and early detection.

2.2.4 Local Study

(Ebardo, 2017)
An activity tracker belongs to one of the subsets of wearable devices. Data on

physical activities is transmitted usually wirelessly from the device itself to a
smart phone or a personal computer. These results are sometimes compared to
another user or with members of a community to induce excitement in its usage.
Although developed primarily for fitness, users from sectors such as education,
medicine and sports have slowly adopted activity trackers for different purposes.
In cycling, activity trackers have been utilized as early as 2007 in the form of
heart rate monitors. It was widely acknowledged by cyclists, coaches and athletes
as an effective tool for sports performance enhancement. The recent popularity of
activity trackers and its convergence with smart watches paved the way for its
entry in the cycling community. In the past, cyclists monitor their cycling
16
11/23/2021 Version 2
activities through a physically installed bike computer and are limited to data such
as distance covered and speed. With the entry of smartphones, cyclists were able
to incorporate features such as GPS, interactive maps and music in their cycling
routines. However, research suggests negative impacts such as performance
depreciation and safety risks as primary concerns in the use of activity trackers in
cycling. Activity trackers provide cyclists more data and independence as they
have the option to change their bikes and synchronize data in a single platform. In
addition, cyclists are able to monitor their fitness levels through the heart rate and
their sleep quality.
In one of the earliest studies, transportation issues in Metro Manila primarily

drove the use of bicycles. The Philippines has a lower bike ownership in Asia
compared to its neighbors with an estimated 23% of the population having bikes
compared to 49% for the entire Asian region. The support of some local
government units, the establishment of cycling lanes and the worsening traffic
situation are just some of the factors that encourage people to bike in the
Philippines.
A recent study explored the influence of the six common features of smart
wristbands, also considered as activity trackers, to health empowerment. These
characteristics are: (1) Perceived attractiveness, (2) perceived monitoring, (3)
Perceived privacy protection, (4) Readability, (5) Gamification and (6) Feedback.
For this paper, the same characteristics are utilized and relate it to commitment
using the self-regulation theory.
From smartwatches, fitness trackers, sports watches, head-mounted displays, smart
clothing, e-textiles, smart
jewelries, and implantables, wearable technology has sure gone a long way materializing
the wearables we only
usually see from sci-fi movies. According to Dan Sung of Wareable Ltd., by using
wireless connection, such
as Bluetooth or Internet, sensors that measure heart rate, body fat composition,
perspiration, temperature,
muscle activity, distance, speed, and acceleration help a person in staying fit, keeping
active, losing weight, or
17
11/23/2021 Version 2
organizing tasks (Sung, 2015). According to Ericsson ConsumerLab, the wearable

computing technology goes
beyond the computing industry encompassing diverse industries such as the healthcare
industry for ingestible
pills with sensors that measure alcohol intake and consumer electronics industry for
smartwatches that helps
the consumer in his/her daily activities (Ericsson ConsumerLab, 2016)

According to Dan Sung of Wareable Ltd., by using wireless connection, such as
Bluetooth or Internet, sensors that measure heart rate, body fat composition,
perspiration, temperature, muscle activity, distance, speed, and acceleration help a
person in staying fit, keeping active, losing weight, or organizing tasks (Sung,

(IEC e-tech, 2019) Technological innovations have modified the doctor-patient

relationship. Today, doctors can provide – as they once did, many years ago,
when they still made home visits – diagnosis, monitoring and treatment in
patients’ homes, thanks to the development of medical equipment and products
specifically designed for in-home use.
(Servio Technologies, 2020) There are two parts to remote patient monitoring and
it’s the hardware and the software. One sample of a telemedicine solution is the
Lumify ultrasound and it's a portable device that you can connect to your
cellphone via Bluetooth. And it can also weigh your weight, it can also be used
for prediabetic patients to check blood sugar and monitor blood pressure
(Espineli & Niguidula, 2018) People nowadays can receive medical or emergency
advice even at the comfort of their homes just by using their mobile devices also
known as m-Health [1]. Immediate healthcare especially those related to elderly
and other people has attracted extra attention. Measurement of physiological
parameters has become a basic recourse for them to be informed about the sudden
change in their physiological signs. This resulted in the creation of a wearable
medical device which acts as a sensor to observe health conditions even at home.
Despite the fact, such non-medical applications on healthcare signal monitoring
still require a range of advancement not only in terms of comfort and size of the
acquirement systems but also in terms of power lenience [2]. The purpose of this
study is to compare the results and measurements of a commonly used wearable
19
11/23/2021 Version 2
health device on mobile health (m-Health) systems to measurements of other

downloadable health applications. By setting a testing protocol and using heart
rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and acceleration rate (ACC) as variables,
statistical measures such as Pearson's correlation and difference in variances was
employed on data gathered to address the limits in terms validity of information
generated by downloadable health applications. Based on the statistical
comparisons yielded there were significant differences obtained between the
wearable health device and downloadable health application results. Discrepancy
for heart rate reached up to almost 50 percent while variances for respiratory rate
registered close to 50 percent and negative (-82) percent respectively. In
conclusion wearable health devices were not highly comparable to other
downloadable health applications.

3.6 Testing and Evaluation
3.6.1 Testing Procedure

Testing is when the researchers’ system ready to implement this is the process
that conducts testing to verify the program must be validated and authenticated.
Researcher’s used beta testing, a platform for actual users to try out a product in a
development setting to find any bugs or problems to fix them before the implementation.
Until a process is wholly released, beta testing is the best way to identify the issues and
performance problems. Furthermore, beta testing is the first chance to evaluate software
in a practical situation rather than a process or a level; this ensures that the program can
adequately handle duties and that frequency, processing, and usability are all functioning
correctly.
3.6.2 Evaluation Procedure

The researchers will conduct a survey form to evaluate the system. Researchers targeted
respondents are 2 doctors or nurse and 2 patients who undergo monitoring their blood pressure
and also their temperature, the tool used by gathering data is through google form and they will
evaluate the system based on their experienced using the system.
The evaluation form's results will be evaluated and interpreted using a collection of
parameters from ISO/IEC 25010:2011, including Functional Suitability, Performance Efficiency,
Compatibility, Usability, Reliability, Security, Maintainability and Portability, as well as the
acceptance of IT experts and Ordinary users.
3.6.3 Respondents
The IoT Based Patient Blood Pressure and Temperature Monitoring participants are
doctors of cardiovascular or any related that has knowledge to blood pressure and temperature
monitoring, for patients it has to be inform by the doctor that he/she needed to be monitor
his/her blood pressure and temperature by given time or has experience doing it at home, lastly
the Information Technology professionals who knows about the device and system application
of the researchers.
31
11/23/2021 Version 2
3.6.3.1 Research Design

To reach the objective of this study, the researchers need to use the descriptive design.
To gather information, the researcher will use survey type data collection to find out what the
system how reliable, effective and achieves its objective and scope of the project. For scaling the
data, respondents will evaluate and answer how they think if its capable based on their own
experience using the system and the device.
3.6.3.2 Sampling and Population

The researchers will use the sampling method that is why researchers need three (3)
types of participants for this study to achieve the objective effectively. The researchers need to
get a total of fifteen (15) respondents are five (5) each type of respondents which are the
doctors, patients, Information Technology professional or experts. All participants need to
provide an answer on each question to attain the objectives of the study.
For doctors respondents they would be has knowledge about cardiovascular that’s
connected to hypertension and temperature monitoring and also has 3 or more years
experience as doctor . the effects of disease management programmes, in managed care
settings, for people with congestive heart failure, hypertension, and hyperlipidaemia and/or
coronary heart disease. The author concluded that most programmes result in some
improvement in measured outcomes as S Ara (2004). And for patients must be ages 25-64 as
Singh et. Al (2017) on 640 study subjects aged 25–64 years was used. Results. The prevalence of
hypertension was 32.9% (male: 40.9%, female: 26.0%) as Singh et. Al (2017).
3.6.3.3 Research Locale

The study finds participants from a clinic near Valenzuela City, Philippines. Since this
clinic according to its owner has a lot of patients regarding to cardiovascular disease, the
researcher decided to take this environment to conduct the study seeing as suitable for the
study and Information Technology expert can utilize and evaluate the system developed by the
researchers. The doctors are needed to conduct technology test together with the patients for
the reason that the researchers would encounter difficulties since they are not that medically
32
11/23/2021 Version 2
knowledgeable regarding to the study and for patients they are the one who undergo medical
treatment.
3.6.3.4 Data Gathering Procedure

The sampling will be helpful to find the participants in accordance to research basis. The
researchers will accept referral from relatives or ask some people to look for participants
according to research needed participant. The researcher will send a message through email
contain the letter of request and the background of study together with video presentation how
the system works to doctor, patients and Information Technology experts. They will set their
schedule according to their assign appointment whether it is on through Zoom meeting,
Messenger, and Google Meet or other platforms for those who take part into the researcher’s
study. After the presentation and demonstration of the study the developers will present the
Google form to answer the questions regarding to what their experience on the system.
3.6.3.5 Ethical Consideration

Research ethics is the application of basic ethical concepts to research activities, such as
the design and implementation of research, respect for society and others, the use of resources
and research outputs, scientific misconduct, and research regulation. As this research will be
conducted during the pandemic, the researchers acknowledge the necessity of following proper
protocol and upholding high ethical standards in this study for all the participants. To avoid any
future problems, the developers ensure that the operation is carried out thoroughly and in
compliance with ethical standards. They followed the American Psychological Association
(APA) ethical guidelines concerning human participants in research as they are also required to
look at studies ethics primarily based totally on the moral concepts issued with the aid of using
the Institutional Ethics Review Committee (IERC) of Our Lady of Fatima University.
Furthermore, the researchers will provide a comprehensive informed consent to the respondents
and will strictly observe the following:
Voluntary Participant - The participation of respondent will be voluntary but its their
choice if they want.
33
11/23/2021 Version 2
Duration - The researchers will request feedback on the study, and the survey form will
be completed in less than 30 minutes.
Risks - If the topic is delicate and intimate, such as personal habits, "We're asking you to
provide some really personal and confidential information, and we understand if you're
apprehensive. You are not obligated to answer any questions if you choose not to
participate in the discussion/interview/survey. You don't have to give us a reason if you
don't answer a question or refuse to engage in the interview ". Stress, grief, guilt, and
irritability are just a few of the emotions that might jeopardize your life. There's a
potential you'll unwittingly expose personal or secret information, or that some of the
themes will make you uncomfortable. We need also to demo the device using face to face
interaction for much better understanding in the system, since we need to follow the
guidelines and protocol given by the government.
Benefits - This will benefit the Doctor and the patient at the same time because for
Doctors, it will make it easier to monitor their patients whenever they want to check on
the patient. The patient will be hassle-free because they don’t need to go to hospital or
clinic for them to monitored, they will only wear the device that will monitor their
temperature and blood pressure. This device will help to lessen the workload of Medical
Professionals and for patients it will help them to easily check on the history of their
Blood Pressure because it is important for the doctors to view the history of Blood
Pressure of their patients. Doctors can view the history of the Blood Pressure through the
IoT Based Patient Temperature and Blood Pressure Monitoring Mobile Application.
Confidentiality - The data that you will provide will only be access by the researchers’
leader who is Gerald Cuison. All of the information from the respondents will only use
for educational purposes only.
Sharing the Results - We will not share with anybody outside the research team about
the results, and you will not be identified since we will keep secure the data information
we gathered. A summary of the results will be given to those who participate the
34
11/23/2021 Version 2
research. After we gathered information, we will publish the findings thus, those who are
interested in the research can benefit from it.
3.6.3.6 Research Instrument

This research will utile three (3) different survey questions/evaluation for doctors,
patients, and Information Technology experts. The survey form were developed by the
researchers and validated by two (2) professionals which are psychometrician and an
information technology to determine the functionality of the system.
In addition, the researchers will also use the ISO/IEC25010 to evaluate the quality
of the system. The quality model determines which quality characteristics will be taken
into account when evaluating the properties of a software product (ISO 2500, n.d). The
formula will use by the researchers is Weighted Arithmetic Mean to know the outcome of
the system evaluated by the participants.
