RASPBERRY PI-BASED ICU MONITORING: ENHANCING PATIENT SAFETY WITH REAL-TIME DATA

Abstract: The ICU Patient Monitoring System is an innovative healthcare solution designed to continuously monitor critical patient parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and body temperature. The system integrates Raspberry Pi, medical sensors, a Flask-based web application, an SQLite database, and an automated alert system (SMS, email, voice calls) to enhance patient care and emergency response. This paper details the progress, challenges, and future enhancements of the project. The ultimate goal is to provide a cost-effective, scalable, and real-time monitoring solution for hospitals and healthcare institutions, reducing manual intervention and ensuring rapid response to critical conditions.
