Raspberry Pi 5 Nursing Alert Kit: Pressure, Sound & Temp Monitor
Raspberry Pi 5 Nursing Alert System Kit - Monitor Patient Bed Pressure, Sound & Temperature
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a Raspberry Pi 5 into a real-time nursing alert device that senses bed exit, unusual noise, and elevated body temperature. Designed for under-staffed wards, home care, or student prototyping, this kit delivers a working prototype you can test on a mannequin or actual bed setup within a day.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact monitoring panel that reads force-sensitive resistor strips under a mattress, a high-sensitivity microphone, and a waterproof DS18B20 temperature probe. When the system detects a patient leaving the bed, a sudden sound (a cry, a fall), or a temperature spike above a set threshold, it logs the event and can trigger a visual/audible alert at a central nurse station. The data is stored on a fast NVMe SSD for later trend analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate FSR 402 sensors to distinguish between patient restlessness and complete bed exit
- Capture and process ambient sound with a MAX9814 electret microphone and automatic gain control
- Interface a DS18B20 one-wire temperature sensor with Python on Raspberry Pi OS
- Set up an NVMe SSD via the Pi 5 M.2 HAT+ for low-latency data logging

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building an IoT healthcare prototype, B.Tech ECE/EEE final-year projects, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling hospital monitoring challenges, and ATL Tinkering Lab innovators who want a real-world medical alert system. It also serves IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS Pilani students exploring edge computing in healthcare.
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?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with an AI companion fine-tuned on this exact kit's wiring and code. Our team can also step in on WhatsApp if you need a human hint.
Can this kit be deployed in an actual hospital ward?
The kit provides a sturdy prototype intended for educational and demonstration use. With additional enclosures and medical-grade certifications it can serve as a proof-of-concept for real-world testing, but you must follow relevant healthcare regulations.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering is required. All connections use the included M-M jumper wires with breadboard-style prototyping.
Will the project work with a Raspberry Pi 4 instead?
The kit is customised for the Pi 5's M.2 HAT+ and PCIe interface. The sensors remain compatible with a Pi 4, but you would need to adapt the storage and power arrangements separately.
Cooking - Bed pressure sensor, sound level and temperature on Pi 5 detect patient restlessness, noise events and fever - nursing alert system.
