Diseño y prototipado de un sistema automático para la toma de signos vitales en el proceso de triaje en centros de salud de primer nivel del Guasmo Central

Abstract

The technical project presented in this document focuses on the design and prototyping of a device capable of measuring vital signs and evaluating them to perform triage classification. Its main purpose is to support first-level health centers in Guasmo Central during emergency care, thereby preventing emergencies from escalating further. The functional prototype is implemented with an Arduino Mega microcontroller, a Nextion HMI display, and sensors for measuring vital signs: temperature, blood pressure, oximetry, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Additionally, it includes a Glasgow Coma Scale assessment to gather information about the consciousness level of patients to be attended.
