Design and development of an Arduino-based oxygen saturation, heart rate variability, and blood glucose measurement device

Abstract

This study presents the design and development of an Arduino-based device for measuring oxygen saturation, heart rate variability (HRV), and blood glucose levels. The primary goal is to create an affordable, portable, and accurate health monitoring solution suitable for home health care and remote medical services. The device integrates a pulse oximeter sensor to measure oxygen saturation and heart rate, an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor for capturing HRV data, and a non-invasive sensor for regular blood glucose monitoring, all managed by an Arduino microcontroller. Data collected by the sensors is processed and displayed on a user-friendly interface, enabling real-time tracking of health metrics. The device's performance was rigorously tested and validated against standard medical equipment, demonstrating comparable accuracy in measuring the targeted health parameters. This innovative solution aims to enhance personal health monitoring, reduce the burden on healthcare systems, and promote early detection and better management of health conditions. The affordability and ease of use make this device accessible to a wider population, potentially improving health outcomes. Future developments will focus on refining sensor accuracy and expanding the device's capabilities to monitor additional health metrics.
