Abstract
The growing number of elderly population aged 65 and over implied the importance of health care services to maintain their wellness. As we all know, the elderly have habit that they do not like to go to the hospital for their daily checkup. This is because in government hospital they need a long time for their checkup. With the help of new technology of Arduino, the health care system can be monitored. In this project aims to design a real-time system monitoring and implement in an openaccess mobile-web to obtain interoperability in various platforms. The system consists of heartbeat sensor for checking their heartbeat rate. The measured data from the sensors are processed on Arduino Mega before transmit and store at PHPMyAdmin database. An Android application is designed to display the data of heartbeat of the users with the addition of a personal profile page which users can always update their information details. Several testing is conducted to evaluate the performance of the system. First is the testing related to the effect of background color for the measurement of the pulse sensor. The dark background is recommended during measurement since the time required to synchronize with user heartbeat is shorter (7.44s) compared to white background (11.37s). The next testing is the comparison between sensors values and measuring tools. The testing involves 10 users with a different age for this testing The average error percentage for the sensor values is 3.861% and the accuracy of the pulse sensor is 96.139%. In conclusion, the system is capable to perform with control measurement error below 10%. The proposed IoTbased system in this study show promising performance and potential in providing better healthcare services for elderly.
