RE: Designing a Small Health Monitoring System for the Elderly - HMS Blog #3 - First Prototype

emmafisher — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 22:34:15 GMT

A compact health monitoring system for the elderly can make a real difference in improving daily care and early intervention. Ensuring seamless data integration with existing healthcare systems is just as important as the hardware itself. Leveraging FHIR services can help standardize health data exchange, making the system more interoperable and compliant with medical regulations. Solutions like this, combined with robust software frameworks, can enhance remote patient monitoring and streamline healthcare workflows. Looking forward to seeing how this project progresses.

I always upload to YouTube and then insert them into an e14 blog from YouTube, it works much more reliably for me.

Hi, great explanation and implementation. I am trying to build the project without the air pump and I am using HX710B air pressure sensor with 0 to 40 KPa but the minimum value I am reading is somewhere in the high 90mmhg (like 95mmhg) and the maximum is 180mmhg. i am using the same library. i have tested multiple sensors but the minimum value is same...i cannot check the diastole value if the minimum value my sensor reads is 90.please help

Well deserved! I've never regretted getting our air purifier - although it's not as nice as yours. [emoticon:4191f5ee34e248a29fa0dbe8d975f74a] The 11" screen on the new iPad is still pretty respectable. Go for the new one. [emoticon:1435ff2429184e17bc948e4f19178e1e]

I hope you enjoy your prizes!

I too got a Philips air purifier (during the pandemic) and it makes a noticeable difference. The sensor is great for showing this, so there's no ambiguity. The model I have is different, but all the Philips once do approximately the same thing. Some models have a humidifier, and others have a robot-like rotating head, several friends have purchased these units after seeing it in action.

The pre-filter needs cleaning regularly, amazing how much stuff it pulls out of the air. I think they recommend not to use a vacuum cleaner, but it is possible if you're careful, by just positioning it a couple of centimetres away.

Now it's second-nature to switch it on, especially when there are visitors, to get rid of some particles, especially if anyone coughs etc.

[mention:2f7f3f52ea644a4ba1053d94e948bd06:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] is that Comox on Vancouver Island or a Comox somewhere else?

Nice writeup. I burn wood both in our place in Nanaimo in Nova Scotia and some air quality measurements might be fun.

For those of you who are trying to view my final blog from the 17th, please note that it has currently been "flagged as spam" and temporarily removed. This has happened before and generally it gets fixed pretty quickly, but if you want to read it, then I also have all my blog entries on the wiki of my gitlab project where all the source code is available too.

I like the canary. The enclosure with all the dials looks pretty cool. My favorite pic from this blog, though, has got to be your dog.
