Health monitor - Waylay IO

Description

In biology, homeostasis is defined as the state of stable internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems.

Healthcare monitoring systems in hospitals and other healthcare centers have gone through significant growth and portable healthcare monitoring systems are becoming of great interest today, as the emergence of IoT technologies facilitates the transition from face-to-face consulting to telemedicine.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to gather health parameters using an IoT device and store them in the cloud and showcase them in a neatly organized dashboard.

If you need help in deploying this solution or building something similar please contact Waylay.io for the low-code IoT Solution or Zalmotek.com for IoT-enabled hardware prototypes.

So let’s dive right into it!

Hardware requirements
For this tutorial, we have decided to use the M5Stack Ecosystem because it offers the possibility of building such a system without prototyping specific tools, such as a soldering iron or prototyping cables. The ”heart” of this project is the M5Core2, an IoT development kit based on the ESP32 microcontroller. This ecosystem allows you to connect the provided modules through a GROVE port to the M5Core2, allowing fast deployment of hardware.

M5Core2

To showcase the use of IoT in Healthcare monitoring, we have picked the Mini Heat Rate Unit, based on the MAX30100 chip, with the possibility to measure the oxygen saturation in the blood and the heart rate of the patient. Another key parameter for an organism’s homeostasis is the temperature, which we have decided to record using a Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Unit, based on the MLX90614 sensor. It allows the user to measure the surface temperature of the human body without having to touch them physically. If you want to read both sensors at the same time even if you trigger them separately you must use a 1 to 3 HUB Expansion Unit to connect both of them to the M5Core2.

Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Unit, 1 to 3 HUB Expansion Unit, and Mini Heart Rate Unit
Wire connections
- Connect the 1 to 3 HUB Expansion Unit to PORT A of the M5Core2 (the red port near the USB-C connector) using the Grove cable.
- Connect the Mini Heat Rate Unit and the Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Unit to the HUB Expansion Unit.
2
Prerequisites
- Install M5Burner according to your OS.
- Install Thonny following the steps on the official website.
3
Setting up the device
- Connect the M5Stack kit to your PC using the provided USB Type-C cable. The port name should appear on the top-left corner of the app (near COM).
On Linux, make sure your user is part of the dialout group by running:
```
sudo adduser $USER dialout
```
M5Burner
- Launch M5Burner and download the UIFlow(CORE2). Click the Erase button, wait for it to finish, and then press the Burn button to upload the UIFlow(CORE2) firmware on the device. We have used 1.8.1_core2. You will be prompted for the WiFi details that the device will use to connect to your local network. If the burn fails, change the baud rate to a lower one.
M5Burner
- Now click on the Configuration box corresponding to UIFlow(Core2) and select App Mode from the dropdown in the provided screen and add the Wifi details if not present.
- After it finished rebooting, you will be greeted by an initial screen with the UiFlow version in the top right.
- Let's go ahead and set up the cloud solution!

Certain injections, such as corticosteroid injections, can help reduce inflammation in specific areas of the body https://www.nortexspineandjoint.com/caudal-epidural-steroid-injection/. This can be beneficial for conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, or inflammatory joint conditions.

Connect the M5Stack kit to your PC via the provided USB Type-C cable, check the port name in the app. For Linux users, ensure membership in the dialout group using 'sudo adduser $USER dialout'. Launch M5Burner, download UIFlow(CORE2), Erase, then Burn firmware (1.8.1_core2). Provide WiFi details if prompted; if burn fails, adjust baud rate to a lower setting with https://try-neotonics.us/

Hi, it looks like a very useful tool. Is it possible to use it with any word press site? Moreover, is it customizable or not? Let me inform how we can use it, thanks<a href="https://arganianaturalhealthclinic.com/pages/healthy-active-metabolism">.</a>

There are many different types of healthcare monitoring systems, ranging from simple paper based systems to sophisticated wearable devices. In this post, I will focus on the one I use at my consulting practice: the MediSense platform. It is a flexible, customizable and inexpensive product that is used to monitor patient vital signs, blood pressure, temperature and heart rate. The device works well in hospitals, clinics and medical offices, making it an ideal fit for telemedicine applications.

The device is easy to use with a free mobile app and comes with a free year of service. There are other versions that allow you to license additional features or track patients in their own homes (but they are not as flexible as the MediSense platform). The MediSense platform can also be connected to external data sources so you can share patient data with other medical professionals or third party devices like blood pressure cuff wearables or home health monitors. This allows them to utilize your patient data for diagnoses without having to have a physical presence in your office; you simply have your phone line connected to their phone line. https://dentalsave.com/blog/using-care-credit-the-dental-office/

I started using MediSense at my consulting business when we expanded our team from one desk into two workstations and needed more phones for patient monitoring. We had a hard time finding phones that would work for us because of our need for both privacy and cost-effectiveness. When we found the MediSense platform it was very affordable at $149 per year (at the time) and worked perfectly with all of our existing phones! We needed only one phone line hooked up to the system so we could monitor patients remotely while at work — no need for an additional phone on each person's desk!
