Design and Development Integrated Sensor System for Measuring Body Temperature and Heart Rate

ABSTRACT

Heart rate and body temperature are some of the important components of a person's main vital signs that need to be monitored regularly and periodically. The detection system technology continues to develop which allows a person to detect his own condition, to avoid exposure to COVID-19. However, the tools that are developing in the market are quite expensive and sometimes complex in operation because they are external products, so that it becomes a difficulty in itself. For this reason, it is important to design a detection device with sensor components that exist in the country and with a simple design so that it is easy to operate and inexpensive. In this paper, utilizing pulse sensors and AD8232 sensors to detect heart rate and MLX90614 sensors to measure body temperature, then NodeMCU ESP8266 to process sensor signals received and will be forwarded to the Display (LCD) to display the results carry out the design and development of an integrated sensor system. From the research results, the accuracy of the MLX90614 temperature sensor is very good with the achievement of 99.24% and the pulse sensor with the achievement of 98.86%. For the test results on each sample obtained accuracy values of 98.4% and 99% for the temperature sensor, and 92.3% and 92.2% for the pulse sensor, respectively. From these results, it is very clear that the sensor design deserves to be promoted as a quality product. © 2022 IEEE.
