Raspberry Pi 5 AI Patient Bed Alert System - Detect Restlessness, Noise, and Fever

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Give nurses a silent, always-on guardian for bed-ridden patients. This kit transforms a Raspberry Pi 5 into a multi-sensor edge AI system that monitors bed pressure, sound levels, and body temperature - sending real-time alerts when restlessness, sudden noise events, or fever are detected. It's a building block for smarter hospital wards, assisted-living facilities, and healthcare hackathons.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact monitoring module that sits beneath a bed mattress and beside the patient. Two FSR 402 sensors capture pressure distribution to detect tossing and turning, while the MAX9814 microphone listens for coughs or calls for help. The DS18B20 digital temperature probe tracks surface body temperature. All data streams are fused on the Raspberry Pi 5, logged to a fast NVMe SSD, and used to trigger nursing alerts via a web dashboard or push notification.

What You'll Learn

• Integrate force-sensitive resistors and interpret pressure signals to detect patient movement and bed exit.
• Configure the MAX9814 electret microphone for event-driven audio capture and noise floor analysis.
• Use the DS18B20 1-wire temperature sensor for continuous, high-accuracy fever monitoring.
• Deploy a simple sensor fusion algorithm on the Pi 5 that runs as an edge AI service, sending alerts without sending raw data to the cloud.
