In-Home Healthcare Station Using Raspberry Pi Pico

In recent years, the fusion of sensor technology with embedded systems has proven its worth in the domain of personalized healthcare. The purpose of the In-home healthcare system lies in its continuous monitoring of the vital signs of a person and the environmental conditions of the surroundings as well, thereby ensuring the early detection of health issues. This results in swift preventive measures to be undertaken. The proposed system is the integration of multiple sensors namely- The pulse sensor for monitoring the BPM (Beats per minute), DHT11 for room temperature, DS18B20 for body temperature, and MQ135 for air quality on Raspberry Pi Pico. The data from the sensors is continuously monitored and analyzed, detects anomalies, and generates alarms for the same. The sensor data collected is continuously displayed on the OLED for easy monitoring. The system’s compact and portable design enables efficient functionality while minimizing space requirements, offering a novel approach to space-constrained applications.
