Heart disease remains as the major cause of death encompassed by Malaysians over the past ten years starting from 2005 until 2014. There are many factors that influenced this statistical measurement. One of the most influential factors is due to insufficient space for medical placement provided by the hospitals. The purpose of this study is to develop a smart bed health monitoring system based on electrocardiography (ECG) and body temperature sensors. Arduino IDE software was used for Internet of Things (IoT) and LabVIEW software for real time monitoring. Data can be seen through a website, which can help the doctors to monitor their patients’ data from a long distance. The result of the project was compared with existing monitoring devices used for heart rate (Hand Wrist Heart Monitoring and Galaxy Watch) and body temperature (Rossmax Monitoring TG380 Thermometer) which available in the market. These comparisons were conducted by several experiments to analyze its accuracy and reliability. The comparison of data between real time monitoring and IoT was analyzed to check for the effectiveness of data via internet. The result showed that the highest percentage of error for both parameters of heart rate and body temperature were less than 4.2%. This system able to interpret an individual’s level of healthiness such as bradycardia, tachycardia and fever which can be monitored in real time monitoring.

Performing real-time monitoring for human vital signs during sleep at home is of vital importance to achieve timely detection and rescue. However, the existing smart equipment for monitoring human vital signs suffers the drawbacks of high complexity, high cost, and intrusiveness, or low accuracy. Thus, it is of great need to develop a simplified, nonintrusive, comfortable and low cost real-time monitoring system during sleep. In this study, a novel intelligent pillow was developed based on a low-cost piezoelectric ceramic sensor. It was manufactured by locating a smart system (consisting of a sensing unit i.e. a piezoelectric ceramic sensor, a data processing unit and a GPRS communication module) in the cavity of the pillow made of shape memory foam. The sampling frequency of the intelligent pillow was set at 1000 Hz to capture the signals more accurately, and vital signs including heart rate, respiratory rate and body movement were derived through series of well established algorithms, which were sent to the user’s app. Validation experimental results demonstrate that high heart-rate detection accuracy (i.e. 99.18%) was achieved in using the intelligent pillow. Besides, human tests were conducted by detecting vital signs of six elder participants at their home, and results showed that the detected vital signs may well predicate their health conditions. In addition, no contact discomfort was reported by the participants. With further studies in terms of validity of the intelligent pillow and large-scale human trials, the proposed intelligent pillow was expected to play an important role in daily sleep monitoring.

AbstractWearable sweat sensors have enabled real-time monitoring of sweat profiles (sweat concentration versus time) and could enable monitoring of electrolyte loss during exercise or for individuals working in extreme environments. To assess the feasibility of using a wearable sweat chloride sensor for real-time monitoring of individuals during exercise, we recorded and analyzed the sweat profiles of 50 healthy subjects while spinning at 75 Watts for 1 hour. The measured sweat chloride concentrations were in the range from 2.9–34 mM. The sweat profiles showed two distinct sweat responses: Type 1 (single plateau) and Type 2 (multiple plateaus). Subjects with Type 2 profiles had higher sweat chloride concentration and weight loss, higher maximum heart rate, and larger changes in heart rate and rating of perceived exertion during the trial compared to subjects with Type 1 profiles. To assess the influence of level of effort, we recorded sweat profiles for five subjects at 75 W, 100 W, and 125 W. While all five subjects showed Type 1 sweat profiles at 75 W, four of the subjects had Type 2 profiles at 125 W, showing an increase in sweat chloride with exercise intensity. Finally, we show that sweat profiles along with other physiological parameters can be used to predict fluid loss.
