| TITLE | Ventilator Using Arduino Uno with Blood Oxygen Sensing |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | The rapid increase in respiratory illnesses has highlighted the need for low-cost and accessible ventilator systems. This project presents the design and development of a basic ventilator system using an Arduino UNO integrated with blood oxygen (SpO₂) sensing. The proposed system aims to assist in monitoring and supporting patient respiration while continuously tracking oxygen saturation levels in the blood. The ventilator mechanism is controlled by the Arduino UNO, which regulates airflow using a motor-driven compression system. A pulse oximeter sensor is used to measure the patient’s blood oxygen saturation and heart rate in real time. The collected data is processed by the microcontroller and displayed on an output interface, enabling continuous monitoring of the patient’s condition. If oxygen levels fall below a predefined threshold, the system can trigger alerts to notify caregivers. This project focuses on affordability, simplicity, and reliability, making it suitable for educational purposes and as a conceptual prototype for emergency or resource-limited environments. Although not intended to replace medical-grade ventilators, the system demonstrates how embedded systems and sensors can be integrated to create a functional respiratory support and monitoring device. The project highlights the potential of Arduino-based solutions in healthcare technology and biomedical engineering applications. |
