Development of a LoRa-based data acquisition system for health monitoring

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the realization of a LoRa-based data acquisition system intended for health monitoring. The project establishes a Point to Point (P2P) communication model. The system employs a temperature sensor for data acquisition to enable wireless transmission of data over long distances with less power requirements. An example of how the system works in health monitoring situations is provided by the alert mechanism that activates in case of temperature changes. The components involved include PCBs, software that provides interaction between the components and the display of data. The thesis focuses on the ability of LoRa P2P systems to deliver an efficient, reliable and affordable way of implementing healthcare solutions for remote patient monitoring.
