Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases increase due to factors such as obesity, an inadequate diet, and are a problem due to shortages of medical personnel and hospitals. In this case, the implementation of technological solutions is presented as a necessity to prevent heart diseases. Various approaches are used to design low-cost electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, from the use of Bluetooth technology to facilitate data transmission, to the development of wearable ECG devices that use artificial intelligence. The objective is to develop a monitoring system in LabVIEW to visualize the heart rhythms of older adults in the city of Lima (Peru), focusing on ease of use and adaptation to their needs, with the purpose of collaboration between health professionals. A development approach is used that encompasses design, implementation, and iterative testing, as well as practical evaluations and pilot testing. As a result, the correct functioning of the ECG device was validated. Electronic components and electrodes were integrated into the board to capture cardiac signals, energized with batteries and sending the information to an interface in LabVIEW. In conclusion, a portable ECG device has been developed that uses operational amplifiers (Op-amps) and analog filters to reduce noise in cardiac measurements and an intuitive interface in LabVIEW

Abstract

Mass migration from rural areas to urban areas has caused problems of traffic congestion, high industrial concentration and inequity in the distribution of housing in the world's capitals, generating a significant threat to sustainable development and public health due to air pollution air. In the Peruvian context, the importance of real-time monitoring of air quality is highlighted according to the standards established by the government. Several studies propose real-time environmental monitoring systems using internet of thing (IoT) technologies, electrochemical and optical sensors to measure pollutants, highlighting the need for data analysis. The objective of the paper is to show the implementation of IoT devices called sensor nodes, with long range wide area network (LoRaWAN) transmission technology for continuous monitoring of polluting gas concentrations. In addition, they are integrated into a central node called gateway to perform real-time monitoring through a web application. As an initial result, IoT devices demonstrated their effectiveness for real-time monitoring. Despite being a prototype-level result, the next stage involves its deployment at public transport stops in Lima. Overcoming the limitations of the solution, this paper establishes the foundation for future research on pollution and public health.

Abstract

Visual impairment is a complex challenge that affects people of all ages, and it is estimated that around 2.2 billion people worldwide lack adequate access to medical treatment and support. In Latin America, there is a lack of attention to people with visual disabilities, evidenced by poor urban infrastructure and lack of compliance with inclusion laws. Some projects stand out for the use of prototypes with artificial vision technology, global positioning system (GPS) and smart canes. Therefore, the objective of the project is to use ultrasonic sensors and a low-cost electronic device coupled to canes, for obstacle detection and mobility using an open hardware embedded system. The results confirmed the efficiency in the detection and operation of the ultrasonic sensor by activating the light emitting diode (LED), the buzzer and the vibrating motor according to the programmed distances. Challenges were identified, such as adapting the sensor to the tilt of the cane and the importance of accurate calibration of the ultrasonic sensor. The system met its objectives by detecting objects in a range of 2 to 50 cm and providing sound alerts to improve the perception of blind people.

Abstract

Monitoring cervical muscle pain during teleworking, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased remote work, highlights electrotherapy as a crucial physical therapy tool to mitigate muscle pain and promote tissue recovery, addressing ergonomic and occupational health problems that affect the well-being of remote workers. The research proposes to design a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device to monitor cervical muscle pain during teleworking, addressing the urgent need for technological solutions to mitigate this problem and improve the quality of life of teleworkers through data acquisition and processing, hardware development, implementation device monitoring, and evaluation software. For this, a TENS device was designed with a graphical interface to treat muscle pain in the neck of teachers who do remote work, dividing it into four stages: signal acquisition and generation, Bluetooth communication with an Android device, signal conditioning, and amplification and protection, following a development scheme that includes circuit design in Proteus and the creation of a mobile application in App Inventor. In conclusion, it was obtained that the power supplies have an average error of less than 1%, indicating good general performance and confirming the consistency and optimal performance of the proposed therapies.

Abstract

Citizen insecurity in underdeveloped third world countries is aggravated by poor management of arms control and illegal trafficking, which requires information technology solutions in intelligent video surveillance systems for the detection of lethal weapons. The literature review highlights the need for an intelligent video surveillance system to combat high crime, using fog computing, which processes data in real time for the detection of weapons and other crimes. Furthermore, at an international level, solutions based on artificial intelligence and deep learning are being implemented for object recognition and weapons detection. Therefore, this paper describes the design of an intelligent video surveillance system based on artificial vision, fog and edge computing to detect lethal weapons in domestic environments, performing weapon classification and data transmission to police centers. The intelligent video surveillance system allows detecting lethal weapons and operates in three stages: an edge node with a Raspberry Pi 4; a detection algorithm based on a convolutional neural network with YOLOv5; and streaming tagged images to a security unit via WhatsApp. The main conclusion is that the system achieved a precision greater than 0.85 and a quick and efficient response in sending alerts, representing a scalable and effective solution against home burglary.

Abstract

Non-automatic irrigation in greenhouses presents significant disadvantages, such as waste of water and loss of time, although they are highly widespread and low cost. Research highlights the importance of rationally managing and using water through information technologies to improve crop quality, recommending the use of automated irrigation systems, although challenges are faced in the proper integration of electronic devices in agricultural environments. For this reason, it is considered that the use of drip irrigation, the integration of embedded systems with Bluetooth connection, and mobile applications facilitates its use. This paper describes the design and implementation of a prototype mechatronic system to manage greenhouse irrigation, using an embedded system based on a microcontroller. In this case, temperature and humidity sensors are used that control a water pump, monitor environmental factors, and display data in the mobile application connected via Bluetooth, activating the water pump automatically. The results show that the prototype is functional, meets the stated objectives, and proposes improvements related to the range of Bluetooth communication and the implementation of a solar panel for use in areas without electricity supply. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Solar energy harvesting addresses challenges related to environmental variability and the limitations of fixed systems, which affect the energy yield obtained from photovoltaic panels. To improve efficiency, tracking systems are being developed using control algorithms or algorithmic energy management strategies. Reviewed research has explored methodologies such as software modeling, experimental testing, and integration of embedded systems with fuzzy logic and internet of things (IoT) for energy monitoring and management, using both single-axis and dual-axis technologies, demonstrating improvements in energy harvesting efficiency. This paper presents the development of a microcontroller-based system with automatic control to optimize solar energy capture in photovoltaic panels using light-dependent sensors and integrating control algorithms into low-cost hardware. The tests carried out demonstrated the operation of the tracking algorithm, confirming that the integration of light-dependent sensors, servo motors and the Arduino UNO microcontroller orient the solar panel based on the detected light, determining that with the generation of 900 mA with 6.98 V in full sunlight, the 5 V and 4400 mAh battery is charged, obtaining an autonomy of up to 3.65 days without solar recharging.
