The monitoring device for mountain climbing activities is a system solution formulated in this Final Project, which is needed to address various problems in mountain climbing activities such as poor signal quality for communication and lack of physical preparation from mountain climbers. Physical preparation here is crucial because many accidents related to climbing activities occur, such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or cases of getting lost from the designated trail. Therefore, to enhance the experience and safety of mountain climbing activities, we have developed a solution in the form of an Internet of Things (IoT) based wearable device with the assistance of sensors to detect SpO2 levels and heart rate, as well as a Global Positioning System (GPS) module that enables mountain climbers to be tracked in real-time and records their health conditions. The results and confirmations will be communicated to the system manager. In this paper, we will specifically focus on the development of the device using the V-Model development method, with the main outcome being a "Proof of Concept" in the form of an initial concept design of the wearable device to be used by mountain climbers, as well as a receiver device and a web application supported by the use of Machine Learning for managing mountain climber data by the system manager.
