IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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 or clinics. Sometimes other patients have normal blood pressure at the
hospital or clinics 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 or clinics.
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 or clinics. 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.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
long-distance monitoring consultation and for the added the patient will only rent the wearable
device to the doctor who will do the consultation to them.
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
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
(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.
(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.
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
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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.
MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The KC N901 Smart Helmet,
developed by leading technology and innovation company KC Wearable, will be made
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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.
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.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
(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."
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.

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
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
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.
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

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,

(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

works using the Arduino-nano system. The researchers’ study will go under the scientific
methods process to see the effectiveness of the study.

The system was assessed and evaluated by five (5) IT Expert providers, five (5) Doctors
and five (5) Patients for a total of 15 respondents. The proponents made way for the respondents
to figure out the functions and how to use the system. Each respondent was given a Google form
link with proper consent and rated the system based on the system demonstration presented by the
proponents. The evaluation results were analyzed and interpreted based on the set of criteria of
(ISO/IEC 25010).
Table 3 shows the qualification for Functionality Suitability of the system: Functional
Completeness, Functional Correctness, and Functional Appropriateness. According to the
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
evaluation findings, most of the respondents show the overall Functionality to be Acceptable with
a weighted mean of 4.3. The outcomes are as follows: Functional Completeness (Acceptable),
Functional Correctness (Acceptable), and Functional Appropriateness (Highly Acceptable).
Overall Result
The table shows the overall result for evaluation from the respondents. The Functionality
mean is 4.1 (Highly Acceptable), Performancce Efficiency mean is 4.4 (Acceptable), Usability
mean is 4.1 (Acceptable), Reliability mean is 4.0 (Acceptable), Maintainability mean is 4.2
(Acceptable), and Security 4.2 (Acceptable). The majority of the users found the overall
Evaluation is to be Acceptable with weighted mean of 4.1.
5.2 Conclusion
IoT Based Patient Temperature and Blood Pressure monitoring received a positive
feedback from the respondent saying that this system will have a major impact to Medical Field
specially for the doctors. One Doctor said that the disadvantages in Medical field is the medical
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
system of our country (Philippines) therefore with the help of technology it can help to reduce
workload of every doctor, since some of their patient usually complaint about their vital sign
regarding to monitoring sheet. This study will also make it easier for the doctors to monitor the
Temperature and Blood Pressure of their patients. The majority of respondents believe that IoT-
based patient temperature and blood pressure monitoring will benefit the medical profession.
5.3 Recommendation
The study indicates the efficiency of the IoT Based Patient Temperature and Blood
Pressure Monitoring based on the results and conclusion of the study after a thorough
examination of data. As a result, the study's early findings have received positive comments and
some of respondents were recommend suggestions on how to improve the system, which are as
follows:
a.) Respondents suggests to improve the hardware setup for much better experience and
much accessible to patients especially to those who does not familiar with innovative
technology.
b.) Since its pandemic application is very helpful to those patients to access with their doctor
and to continue monitoring, also application’s interface and design is very interactive and
user-friendly.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
Definition of Terms
IoT - The Internet of Things is an interconnection, web devices that can accumulate and transmit
data over a wireless connection without any need for human interference. The opportunities for
personal or professional development are limitless.
Anthropometry - is a phrase that relates to the calculation of a human being. The comprehensive
calculation of the external properties of the human body, mainly relational descriptive terms of
muscle size and form, is known as anthropometry.
Real time - They are used to illustrate how a system network throughput and either instantly
discusses or allow easy access.
Prototype - Prototyping is an iterative method in which design teams transform abstract concepts
into concrete forms, ranging from paper to digital. To capture design ideas and test them on
consumers, teams create prototypes with varying degrees of fidelity. You should refine and verify
the designs with prototypes so that your company can release the correct products.
IOT BASED PATIENT TEMPERATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
Chronic Condition - The chronic phase is caused by an illness that lasts for one year or longer
and necessitates constant medical care, limits daily activities, or both. In the United States,
chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of morbidity
and mortality.
