  1. INTRODUCTION

    The need for data monitoring is an aspect of continuous development and upgradation both in terms of accuracy as well as longevity. The proposed model is aimed at designing a multifunctional sensory device which can be added to trekking personnel, enabling the user to keep track of multiple real-time data like temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, bpm etc..[1] As entities such as the atmosphere are fitted with sensors, microcontrollers, and various software applications, they become self-protecting and self-monitoring entities, also known as smart entities. All projects calculate air temperature, ambient humidity and atmospheric pressure but individually. The proposed model is designed optimally to ensure easy and reliable access to the user at utmost weather conditions with maximised accuracy. Through web-based monitoring system, the user can monitor data from anywhere, on any device which greatly serves in cutting expense costs. This collected data is stored into a database from which can be accessed by the user accordingly. [2] The weather information is gathered by sensors which intern connected to the Raspberry pi- module serially. It will process and submit the monitored information to SQL database for analysis and management. Data can be monitored and securely processed data is made available to the end user. This way, Trekkers can easily resort to quick access of important data like blood pressure or altitude and can take action accordingly. Parameters like temperature, pressure, altitude, pulse rate levels are very important for a trekker climbing high range mountains. Simultaneous monitoring of these parameters is essential to predict how far the user will be able to tread in such expeditions. In recent years, there have been many developments in this sector, with various non. The main focus here is to design a handheld patent that can assist hikers and improve their way of life.

    1.1 LITERATURE REVIEW

    The innovation used in this paper is related to and analyzed through a variety of existing literature reviews. At the bottom of this paper, a reference is applied. Present day models provide information on data such as temperature, pressure, oxygen levels etc. but not to an extent of required precision or accuracy. People cannot always depend on mobile phones for these purposes because the lithium-ion batteries are not designed to withstand harsh cold weather and high altitudes rendering them unreliable. They also do not include the level of multifunctionality as mentioned in the proposed model as most are isolated to either one or the other of these functions. [3] When it comes to accurate measurement of temperature, pressure and altitude, range and accuracy plays a vital role. Sensors discussed in referenced paper for altitude measurement came up inaccurate by a marginal error due to inconsistency in range measurement. However, with the usage of BME280 can now monitor this parameter more accurately

    The stunted cost of electronic components (programmable components and sensors) has resulted in the success of a number of low-cost architectures for measuring weather parameters [4]. The authors of the following studies [5] and [6] looked at a smart weather station built on a Raspberry Pi and a smartphone app. The ARM11 processor serves the purpose as the primary core in the proposed system architecture. In this machine single core 32-bit ARM11 processor is used. The authors have included the older BMP-180 with less accurate output for temperature and pressure measurement.

    In the case of pulse rate and oximeter advancements,[7] Cell phone manufacturers have recently included an onboard pulse oximeter on the back of smartphones to improve developments in smart health monitoring sectors. [8] In order to attain a SpO2 reading, the user must press a fingertip against the sensor. Multiple techniques have been derived to make certain that a human's

    pulse rate is kept under control [7-11]. Kramer created a modern pulse oximeter that can be used to measure heart rate, blood oxygen saturation and general ventilation levels in other radical anatomical locations at [10]. In his experiment cycle, he compared the blood oxygen saturation levels to baseline SaO2 which was obtained from arterial blood. The research was omitted from the estimation of heart rate precision because there was no suitable ground truth for heart rate. [11] Nilsson found that the ventilation signal could be pin pointed and successfully drawn out at every tested measurement which location include the individuals finger, hand and forearm, shoulder etc. However, these strategies suffer from the same problem of inaccuracy.

    Eventhough there has rising evidence for the usefulness of pulse oximetry at high altitude, controversy still exists [12,13]. This is primarily due to variations in individual preconditions, different assessment objectives, different measuring methods, failure to understand system limitations in specific situations, the use of several instruments, and a lack of ability to accurately interpret data [14]. In congruence to the levels of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) which is obtained from arterial blood gas (ABG) study, medical pulse oximeters must comply with the international standard for pulse oximeter manufacture ISO 80601-2- 61 by default and must maintain high accuracy (average root mean square error Arms 4%) in blood oxygen saturation level readings within the range of 70100%. [15].

    The oximeters used in these instruments are fundamentally the same as those used in hospitals as well as industrial fingertip SpO2 monitors, but using wrist-worn sensor to measure the oxygen saturation levels is inefficient due to proneness to error and unreliability. Non-medical devces that do not comply with this ISO requirement which have higher divergence in SpO2 values. A wide variety of studies have been done to compare reasonably priced commercially available portable devices to medical- standard devices [16]. Poorly fitted instruments, wrist/arm movement, low blood perfusion, and interference are the main causes for its inefficiency. According to these reports, low-cost portable devices have sufficiently accurate SpO2 values comprised between 90100% as compared to medical devices; however, non-medical devices lose accuracy below 90% [17,18].

    In the case of higher altitudes, because of the declining barometric pressure and associated partial pressure of oxygen, the human body is subjected to decreased oxygen supply (hypoxia) while rapidly ascending to high altitude (pO2). As a result, multiple physiological responses will be actuated in order to combat hypoxia and the associated risk of becoming ill. [19,20,21]. In the time period of the high altitude stay, changes in resting heart rate are mentioned in 10 out of the entire 20 studies. At moderate altitude, a study introducing regular hiking activities found an initial increase in HR of 8 bpm, with only slight changes during acclimatisation (1 bpm) [22]. The initial drop in SpO2 was stated to range from 5% to 19% in studies conducted at altitudes ranging from 3400m to 4350m.SpO2 increased by 3% [23,24] during acclimatisation in studies with a short period of exposure (5 days) and by 5%8% in studies with a longer duration.

    The rise in SpO2 over time ranged from 1% to 3% when exercise was done consistently in the entire time period of study at these altitudes [25]. A research that looked at SpO2 data right before an exercise test concluded the absence of acclimatisation effect on SpO2 [26]. The saturation levels initially dropped by a margin of 8% to 20% at altitudes greater than 5000 m. The changes in SpO2 during acclimatisation varied between 68%. Higher up, the spO2 levels saturate even further becoming inaccurate to some extent.

    These findings demonstrate that, considering the wide range of results, finger pulse oximetry in high range/altitudes is an invaluable method for determining the individual course of acclimatisation to high altitude. However, there is a shortfall of data on pulse oximeter measurement accuracy tested at high elevations.[27] researched and studied this effect, using a device to monitor loss of sleep and hypoxia which affected the users health at different altitude ranges. It also derived that other technical characteristics of the system, such as maximum operating altitude, minimum operating temperature, or the ability to detect low perfusion, should be considered, particularly when treading through higher elevations. Medical pulse oximeters often seem to have higher sensitivity and lower deviations in SpO2 readings below 90% as compared to low-cost handheld devices. In addition to the technological factors, as height increases, the measuring process itself becomes more error-prone [28].

    The distribution of aquatic species, physicochemical water properties, and rates of ecological processes comprising biochemical cycling are all influenced by water temperature [29]. In aquaculture, water quality control is critical for ensuring long-term water quality. Temperature is one of the important water parameters in several studies on the production of water quality monitoring systems [30]. [31] Furthermore, water temperature is a significant water quality variable since it affects all further parameters like dissolved oxygen concentrations. Water quality control measures the suitability of a given water body for a given reason. Water quality assessments provide insight into the quality and usability of the water system. This is where the concept IoT is introduced into the picture. The main challenge for this technology is to design a device that collects and controls real-time water temperature of a water source.

    The primary goal of this paper is to initiate and to implement an effectual monitoring system, where necessary parameters are controlled remotely through database and data is collected and displayed.

      Working:

      The above-mentioned sensors (i2c interfaced) are connected to the pi board along with the OLED screen. From this point, once all the required libraries are installed, we can include them in the python script on the Raspbian Software. Once the module is run, the following data of each sensor is displayed on the OLED screen.

      Now, sensor parameters can be switched by clicking the button on the pi board. From this point data is proceeded to be stored in SQLite database form. SQLite database is a small and in-process library that reads and writes data to disc files without requiring a separate server

      This is done via. the following steps.

      1. Make sure i2c communication protocol is enabled.

      2. Import MySQLdB libraries for database connection and data collection.

      3. Write backend program which will read data from sensors and save in database. This is done by taking sensor address in the read address function in the python script.

      4. Now that the data is collected, to send the data into the database we use [ x.execute(INSERT INTO *database name*(*database variables*)]

With this, the database is formed with all the values taken from the individual sensors. The data displayed can be further modified using other library functions. Thus, the recorded data is stored in a tabular form inside the memory of the Pi Board.

From this point comes the process of transferring this data to web application via Django framework. (flowchart depicted in Figure 9.)

Figure 9 – Django framework flowchart

Django is an open-source backend web application platform built on Python, one of the most common web development languages. Simplicity, versatility, reliability, and scalability are the key objectives. Django places a high value on security. It comes with one of the best out-of-the-box security systems available, and it assists developers in avoiding common security issues, such as

Clickjacking, Cross-site scripting, and SQL injection are all examples of cyber threats. This framework is generally praised for its protection policies against such issues compared to its counterparts.

  • Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection

    CSRF attacks enable a malicious user to carry out activities using another user's credentials without the latter's knowledge or consent. Django comes with built-in security against most forms of CSRF attacks, as long as you allow it and use it appropriately. However, there are drawbacks to any mitigation strategy.

  • SQL injection protection

    SQL injection is a type of attack in which a malicious user may use a database to execute arbitrary SQL code. This may lead to the deletion of documents or data leakage. Since Django's queries are built using database parameterization, they are shielded from SQL injection.

  • Clickjacking Protection

Clickjacking is a form of attack in which a malicious site uses a frame to enclose another site. An unwitting user can be fooled into performing unintentional acts on the target site as a result of this assault. Django includes clickjacking security in the form of the X-Frame-Options middleware, which can prevent a site from being made within a frame in a supporting browser.

This makes Django framework ideal for implementation of the proposed model. Steps to install:

  1. Install pip via standalone pip installer and make sure it is updated to the latest version

  2. Make sure to look at venv which is a tool that provides python environments. It allows package instalment without administrator privileges.

  3. After the creation and activation of virtual environment, input the following command.

    $ python -m pip install Djang

    The data can now be accessed via any device that can connect to a browser. The most practical device for this would be mobile phones. We can easily access this data through the following steps.

    1. Once connected, When the server button is pressed, a weblink is created displayed on the OLED screen.

    2. Type this link in the mobile browser and the user will be directed to a login page where he has to type in his login credentials.

    3. Once logged in, all the current and previous data that has been monitored will be made available to the user.

        From Table 1. To Table 5., It is observed that the accuracy differences between senser readings in standard tested devices and the proposed model are within standard level of inaccuracy caused by the individual sensors (+/-error) and hence provide satisfactory results of the above monitored parameters.

      2. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

        The proposed system can provide a convenient method for effective real time monitoring of parameters like temperature, pressure, humidity, heart rate etc. The mentioned sensors were tested for values and measured out for inaccuracies in comparison to existing technology. From the above analysis, it can be concluded that the proposed model is accurate in its measurements and is ready to be launched and implemented in future markets to come. The proposed model can also be developed further by installing GPS sensors, Gyro sensors, Compass and a variety of other sensors to widen its multifunctionality factor. The need for self and environmental monitoring is pivotal for the upcoming years and every individual should carry with them at least one means of monitoring with them at all times. With the current COVID situation, new products are being tested out on the daily and implemented in different sectors. This can often times lead to shortage due to cost expenses. This is where the proposed model can flourish offering multiple services at a low expense rate for the years to come. We can move forward and embrace a world where we wouldnt have to worry about keeping records manually as everything is automatically stored securely over our private and is available at the click of a button.
