Industrial Worker Vitals Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno & NEWS2 Scoring
Industrial Worker Vitals Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno and NEWS2 Scoring
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Place a fingertip on the sensor and this device reads oxygen saturation, pulse, and body temperature - then calculates a NEWS2-style early warning score just like those used in hospital wards. It is designed as a portable monitor for workers in high-heat industrial environments, giving a rapid indication of physiological stress on a bright TFT colour display.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a complete vital signs monitor powered by an Arduino Uno. The MAX30102 optical sensor captures SpO? and heart rate, while the DS18B20 probe reads skin temperature. The firmware fuses these three parameters into a modified National Early Warning Score 2, displayed live on a 2.4-inch ILI9341 TFT screen - no computer required once programmed.
What You'll Learn
- Interface the MAX30102 pulse oximeter over I2C and extract raw photoplethysmogram data to compute SpO? and heart rate
- Read digital temperature from a DS18B20 using the OneWire protocol and handle parasitic power configurations
- Design a colour-coded dashboard on the ILI9341 TFT that shows real-time vitals and a risk score at a glance
- Implement the NEWS2 algorithm in C to classify a worker's condition as low, medium, or high risk based on three physiological parameters

Who This Kit Is For
This kit suits B.Tech ECE and EEE students developing IoT healthcare prototypes, final-year teams working on remote worker monitoring for Smart India Hackathon, and makers who want to understand how clinical early warning scores can be brought into physical computing projects. Prior experience with Arduino wiring and basic C programming is expected.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if the sensor readings are noisy or unstable?
Our AI companion includes calibration steps and filtering code snippets. You can also send a screenshot over WhatsApp and we'll help you fine-tune the signal processing.
Can the NEWS2 score be customised for industrial use cases?
Yes. The kit's source code is fully open, and our companion walkthrough explains each threshold so you can adapt the scoring to specific environments, like adjusting temperature ranges for foundry workers.
Is the TFT display bright enough to read outdoors?
The ILI9341 panel offers good readability in direct light when the backlight is set to maximum. The firmware example includes a high-contrast colour scheme designed for quick glances in a noisy control room.
Do I need an external programmer?
No, the Arduino Uno programs over USB. Our companion guides you through installing the necessary libraries and uploading the sketch. A USB cable is not included in the kit.
Industrial Process - SpO2 plus heart rate plus temperature combined into NEWS2-style early warning score on TFT display.
