Abstract : The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing various sectors, such as education, healthcare, and smart home technologies. This dissertation focuses on the implementation of an enhanced IoT-based heartbeat and temperature monitoring system at Nyarugenge Hospital. The system incorporates a NodeMCU microcontroller, a 128x64 LCD screen for displaying real-time data on body temperature and heart rate, and sensors like the DS18B20 for temperature measurements and a heartbeat sensor for monitoring cardiac health. By utilizing the Blynk platform, the system enables remote access to sensor data, ensuring continuous monitoring and improved patient care. It also features automatic notifications to doctors through the Mista.io API if a patient's temperature exceeds a preset limit, facilitating timely medical responses. The research explores the effectiveness, reliability, and security of such IoT-based systems while addressing privacy concerns. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of regular health monitoring in preventing conditions associated with poor lifestyle choices, such as obesity, inadequate diet, and lack of physical activity. The proposed system offers a practical and cost-effective solution to enhance healthcare services in resource-limited settings.
