Smart oxygen monitoring in hospitals: a pilot study during COVID-19
27 January 2025
Source: Scientific reports
This study aimed to develop and test a smart monitoring system to detect increased oxygen concentrations in hospital environments, mitigating the risk of fires. Based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the system includes wireless sensors that measure oxygen levels at regular intervals and transmit the data to a database.
Monitoring system
The device is primarily designed to measure oxygen concentration in enclosed spaces where fluctuations in oxygen levels are anticipated, particularly in healthcare and industrial settings. The system consists of three main parts: wireless sensor modules, a communication gateway, which communicate with each other using IQRF® IoT technology utilizing a mesh network topology (IQMESH), and a superior system implemented on the University Server.
