This final project aims to develop a patient monitor that has the ability to remotely monitor a patient's vital condition. In an effort to achieve this goal, writer and team implement and integrate various vital sensors into existing patient monitor devices. The sensors used include heart signal sensors, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiration rate, and body temperature. The main objective of this development is to ensure that the developed patient monitor can produce accurate patient vital information and can follow the specified specifications. The implementation of these vital sensors is very important in monitoring the overall health condition of the patient. A heart signal sensor (electrocardiogram) is used to monitor the patient's heart activity, providing information about the shape of the heartbeat and the frequency of heartbeats per minute (Beats Per Minute). Blood pressure sensors are used to measure the patient's blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic pressure. Oxygen saturation sensors are used to measure the level of oxygen in the blood, providing an important indicator of the balance of oxygen in the body. The respiratory rate sensor is used to measure the patient's respiratory rate. While the body temperature sensor is used to monitor the body temperature of the patient. Apart from developing sensors to monitor vital conditions, the writer also designed a tough and durable casing to protect the patient monitor components. This protective case is specially designed to provide protection against impacts, splashes of water and other environmental contamination. In addition, the writer have also developed a special casing for the oxygen saturation sensor so that it can be easily and comfortably placed on the patient's finger. This is important to ensure patient comfort and measurement accuracy. As a data processor, the writer chose the Raspberry Pi 4 as the data collection and processing center. Raspberry Pi 4 functions to collect information sent by vital sensors connected to Arduino. The data received by the Raspberry Pi is then displayed visually on the LCD screen using the Python programming language. This Python code implementation enables accurate and real-time data transmission from Arduino to Raspberry Pi, as well as clear and easy-to-read data display on the LCD screen. In this final project, The writer focused on working in detail on the implementation of the heart signal sensor (electrocardiogram), temperature sensor, patient monitor iv device casing design, oxygen saturation sensor casing design, and the development of Python code for processing and displaying data on the patient monitor screen. The writer also conduct testing and validation of the function and performance of the patient monitors that have been developed. The results of this final project have broad potential applications in the field of health care, especially in monitoring patients in hospitals or clinical settings. By using the patient monitor that has been developed, medical personnel can monitor the patient's vital condition in real-time and respond quickly to significant changes. This is expected to improve patient safety, provide more effective and efficient supervision, and enable more timely and accurate treatment.
