Project Description:

The ICU Patient Monitoring System is an IoT-enabled healthcare project designed to continuously monitor the vital signs of critically ill patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and send real-time data to a web-based dashboard. Doctors and nurses can remotely track parameters like heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), body temperature, ECG signals, and respiratory rate. The system also raises alerts in case of abnormalities.

Technologies Used:

• Backend: Node.js / Java / PHP (for APIs and alert processing)

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (for live patient dashboard)

• Database: MySQL / MongoDB (to store health records and logs)

• IoT Hardware:

  • Microcontroller: ESP32 / Arduino / Raspberry Pi

  • Sensors:

    • Pulse Oximeter (MAX30100/MAX30102)

    • Heartbeat sensor (AD8232 or ECG module)

    • Temperature sensor (LM35/DS18B20)

    • Respiration sensor (optional)

  • Communication: Wi-Fi or GSM module (for internet connectivity)

Key Features:

1. Vital Sign Monitoring:

   • Monitors pulse rate, SpO₂, temperature, and ECG in real-time.

2. Live Web Dashboard:

   • Displays live graphs and readings for each patient.

   • Accessible via any device (desktop, tablet, mobile).

3. Alert & Notification System:

   • Sends automatic alerts to doctors or nurses via SMS/email when readings go beyond safe thresholds.

   • Audible alarm in the ICU room (optional).

4. Patient History Logs:

   • Stores data with timestamps to review historical trends and generate health reports.

5. Multiple Patient Support:

   • Scalable system to monitor multiple ICU patients on a single dashboard.

6. Doctor/Nurse Login Panel:

   • Role-based access to patient dashboards, logs, and alerts.
