During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Internet of Things- (IoT-) based health monitoring systems are potentially immensely beneficial for COVID-19 patients. This study presents an IoT-based system that is a real-time health monitoring system utilizing the measured values of body temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation of the patients, which are the most important measurements required for critical care. This system has a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows the measured temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation level and can be easily synchronized with a mobile application for instant access. The proposed IoT-based method uses an Arduino Uno-based system, and it was tested and verified for five human test subjects. The results obtained from the system were promising: the data acquired from the system are stored very quickly. The results obtained from the system were found to be accurate when compared to other commercially available devices. IoT-based tools may potentially be valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic for saving people’s lives.

In the present work, we have designed a health monitoring system based on Node MCU to monitor temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation level (SpO2) signals, sensed by respective sensors. The necessary signal conditioning circuits have been designed in our laboratory using off-the shelf electronic components. A Data acquisition system has been designed using ESP 32 Node MCU. The designed system is a low-cost alternative to the commercially available USB controller based health monitoring systems. Firmware has been developed and deployed into the Node MCU using arduino IDE. The acquired data has been displayed on OLED display. The result shows maximum errors in the measured parameters within 2%. The designed system helps to achieve portability, high functionality and low cost which makes it an easy accessible tool for public, hospital, sports healthcare and other medical purposes.

Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare system is now at the top peak because of its potentialities among all other IoT applications. Supporting sensors integrated with IoT healthcare can effectively analyze and gather the patients’ physical health data that has made the IoT based healthcare ubiquitously acceptable. A set of challenges including the continuous presence of the healthcare professionals and staff as well as the proper amenities in remote areas during emergency situations need to be addressed for developing a flexible IoT based healthcare system. Besides that, the human entered data are not as reliable as automated generated data. The development of the IoT based health monitoring system allows a personalized treatment in certain circumstances that helps to reduce the healthcare cost and wastage with a continuous improving outcome. We present an IoT based health monitoring system using the MySignals development shield with (Low power long range) LoRa wireless network system. Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, body temperature sensor, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation sensor have been used with MySignals and LoRa. Evaluating the performances and effectiveness of the sensors and wireless platform devices are also analyzed in this paper by applying physiological data analysis methodology and statistical analysis. MySignals enables the stated sensors to gather physical data. The aim is to transmit the gathered data from MySignals to a personal computer by implementing a wireless system with LoRa. The results show that MySignals is successfully interfaced with the ECG, temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate sensors. The communication with the hyper-terminal program using LoRa has been implemented and an IoT based healthcare system is being developed in MySignals platform with the expected results getting from the sensors.

Different types of health monitoring systems are now available in the market. We are using them as a part of our day-to-day life to analyze health conditions. In the case of sea researchers and scuba divers, the medium they are working is water. The health difficulties are more inside the water. So there is a need to develop a health monitoring system for sea researcher’s/scuba divers to analyze their health condition frequently to ensure their safety. The proposed work uses LiFi technology as the communication method to transmit and receive corresponding bio parameter values. This work aims to provide a harmless wireless health monitoring system that will provide maximum efficiency inside the water.

The reliability of coke drums has become a central theme to many refineries worldwide as high value products are recovered from refinery residuum. The severe thermal gradients inherent in the coking process have led to ever more frequent failures from cracks in bulges, skirts and cones, which reduce productivity and jeopardize the safe and reliable operation of coke drums. An intrinsically-safe coke drum health monitoring system rated for operation in hazardous environments, consisting of high temperature strain gauges and thermocouples was installed on a coke drum at a refinery in the United States. Specific locations identified as high risk areas through a combination of engineering analyses, inspections and historical repairs were targeted for monitoring. The health monitoring system calculates the cumulative damage and damage rates at critical locations through the quantification of thermal transient gradients and measured strains, and analyzes the trends over time. Of particular interest are two high damage events recorded with the health monitoring system that closely preceded the propagation of a through wall crack, approximately one week after the events. This paper performed a post-mortem analysis of the event, and shows how the data obtained via health monitoring systems can be used for prioritizing inspections and the potential for anticipation of failures. By analyzing damage accumulation trends from specific operational practices, the impacts of process changes on the expected life of the coke drum can be assessed. Finally, a detailed review of the maintenance and inspection records, results of the on-line Non-Destructive Examination (NDE), laser mapping, and bulged severity assessment were used to prepare a detailed inspection and repair plan for a forthcoming turnaround. The damage accumulation trends captured with an Equipment Health Monitoring System (EHMS) were used to optimize operating parameters of the coke drums referred to in this paper. This together with the execution of detailed inspection plan and comprehensive repairs are allowing a safe and reliable operation of these drums.

This paper represents the design and simulation of a wireless patient health monitoring system. Generally, in the hospitals where patient’s body temperature needs to be continuously monitored, which is usually done by a doctor or other paramedical staff by continuously observing the temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure and maintaining its record. This is a very monotonous routine and can really be nerve-racking, especially in overcrowded hospitals. The primary function of this system is to monitor the temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate of a patient’s body, and transmit the information wirelessly to the doctor’s office on the LCD display unit. In this advanced system, a transmitting unit constantly scan patient’s body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate through digital sensors, and shows them on the transmitter LCD. At the receiving end, a receiver is used to collect the data, decode it and feed them to another microcontroller which then displays it on the doctor’s LCD screen. The receiver unit is kept in the doctor’s office to constantly show the patient’s body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate wirelessly. An alarm is also activated at the receiver end where the doctor will be, and is activated when the patient’s temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate goes below or above the normal human threshold value, which are 37°C, SBP- less than 120 mm Hg, DBP- less than 80mm Hg and 70 beats per minute. An SMS will be sent to the doctor, just in case he or she is outside the area and to present as a path for continuous update. The advanced system was simulated using Proteus software and programs written in Embedded C language. The result achieved shows a systematic method of relating information to the doctor on duty for urgent attention to patients.

Current design rules are analyzed and challenged by considering better damage-detection capabilities offered by structure health monitoring systems. The weight-saving potential associated to the integration of such sensing systems is discussed with regards to structural and structure health monitoring system design. Three prospective scenarios are analyzed and considered in a specific use case. According to the most promising scenario (i.e. robust detectability of damages larger than 300 mm2), structural weight reductions of approximately 9% can be achieved. Considering the weight added by the structure health monitoring system, effective weight savings in the order of 5% are achievable. Although this potential is rather modest, applying structure health monitoring systems on structures mainly driven by the damage tolerance criterion is expected to provide reductions far beyond 5%.

Energy and power industrial plants need to improve the health monitoring systems of their facilities, particularly high-risk facilities. This need has created a demand for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, for the application of WSN technology in large-scale industrial plants, issues of reliability and security should be fully addressed, and an industrial sensor network standard that mitigatesthe problem of compatibilitywith legacy equipment and systems should be established. To fulfill these requirements, this study proposes a health monitoring system of the pipe-rack structure using ISA100.11a standard. We constructed the system, which consists of field nodes, a network gateway, and a control server, and tested its operation at a large-scale petrochemical plant. The data obtained from WSN-based sensors show that the proposed system can constantly monitor and evaluate the condition of the pipe-rack structure and provide more efficient risk management.
