Sous-Vide Cooking Temperature Kit with Arduino Uno
Sous-Vide Cooking Temperature Kit with Arduino Uno — Build a Kitchen-Worker Health Monitor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Long shifts in commercial kitchens expose cooks to heat stress and fatigue. This project equips you to assemble a wearable-style health monitor that fuses SpO2, heart rate, and body temperature into a single early warning score—modeled after the NHS NEWS2 protocol—shown live on a colour TFT screen. Perfect for B.Tech ECE/EEE students exploring embedded healthcare, Smart India Hackathon prototypes, or anyone tackling data-visualization assignments in Bengaluru’s engineering colleges.
What You'll Build
You will solder and mount the MAX30102 pulse oximeter and the DS18B20 temperature probe onto the PCB, wire them to an Arduino Uno, and program the logic that computes a composite risk score. The result appears on a 2.4-inch ILI9341 TFT as a colour-coded alert: green for normal, amber for caution, red for immediate action. The entire assembly fits into a small enclosure you can clip inside an apron or chef’s coat, making it a realistic proof-of-concept for kitchen safety technology.
What You'll Learn
- Reading raw photoplethysmography data from the MAX30102 and deriving heart rate and SpO2 values
- Interfacing the DS18B20 one-wire temperature probe and converting readings to human body temperature
- Implementing a weighted scoring algorithm inspired by NEWS2 to generate a single risk number
- Driving the ILI9341 TFT with colour-coded thresholds and real-time numerical dashboards

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for B.Tech ECE, EEE, and biomedical engineering students who have prior Arduino and soldering experience. It fits coursework on biomedical instrumentation, IoT health devices, and Smart India Hackathon prototypes. ATL mentors working with senior students can adapt the NEWS2-style logic into a classroom demonstration. If you can already blink an LED and wire a sensor, you are ready to level up into real clinical data display.
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 I get stuck during the build?
Open the QR-linked AI companion for interactive debugging on your phone. If you prefer, send a WhatsApp message with a photo of your board—our team responds within 4 business hours.
Can the score be used for actual clinical diagnosis?
No. This is an engineering prototype for learning. The NEWS2-style algorithm is a simplified model; do not rely on it for medical decisions.
How do I calibrate the DS18B20 for skin temperature?
The AI companion includes a calibration routine: hold the probe against your forearm and adjust the offset in code until the reading matches a clinical thermometer.
Will the MAX30102 work on all skin tones?
It performs reliably on skin tones common in India. For research-grade accuracy, you can tweak the LED current and sampling rate via registers—guidance is in the companion app.
Cooking — SpO2 plus heart rate plus temperature combined into NEWS2-style early warning score on TFT display.
