Real-Time Health Monitoring System for Scuba Divers

  • Unique Paper ID: 172846
  • PageNo: 1238-1242
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and implementation of a real-time health monitoring system for scuba divers operating underwater. The system utilizes an ATmega328 microcontroller as its core, integrating sensors for critical physiological parameters. A thermistor measures and displays water temperature, crucial for cold stress monitoring. An ultrasonic sensor estimates oxygen levels in the diver's tank, providing an early warning for low reserves. A heart rate sensor monitors the diver's electrocardiogram (ECG) in real-time, alerting the diver and surface support to any arrhythmias or abnormal heart rates. All sensor data is processed by the ATmega328 and displayed on an LCD screen for immediate feedback to the diver. This system aims to enhance diver safety by providing continuous, real-time health information and early warnings of potential emergencies, ultimately improving the overall diving experience and reducing the risk of diving-related incidents.
