Sistema electrónico de monitoreo de signos vitales y alertas de distanciamiento social para la prevención de enfermedades respiratorias

Abstract

The health crisis that the world is going through has caused several complications in medical care and prevention for the transmission of respiratory diseases, especially viral diseases. The research project implements an electronic system for monitoring vital signs and social distancing alerts, using an IoT architecture for data management. The electronic system is composed of 3 parts: a portable bracelet for data acquisition, a server that stores the information to display it in a web application and an assistant in the Telegram application for queries and alerts with a smartphone. Bracelet acquires from the patient the values of heart rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature to send them with the COAP protocol to the database. The website works with the database and has a monitoring interface for both the patient and the doctor. The Telegram assistant is a complementary tool for the system, as its functions include displaying project information, querying the patient's database and generating alerts. The electronic system is focused on helping the health sector, avoiding agglomerations that generate contagion of these diseases and monitoring vital signs of users to receive timely medical attention if necessary. The degree work is also part of the research project: "Telemedicine System for monitoring vital signs in a Smart TV environment", approved by Resolution No. UTA- CONIN-2020-0297-R.
