INTERACTIVE GAMING BASED DIAPHRAGM ENHANCEMENT WITH PH MONITORING OF EXHALED AIR FOR LUNG CONDITION

Abstract

The abstract highlights the significance of respiratory health for general wellbeing and points out that a lot of people have irregular breathing patterns as a result of sedentary lifestyles, stress, and respiratory diseases like asthma. It is emphasized that controlled breathing exercises can increase lung capacity, lower anxiety, and improve oxygen intake. Furthermore, according to the abstract, determining the pH of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can reveal information about lung inflammation, with lower EBC pH levels perhaps signifying inflammatory lung diseases. Despite the advantages of breathing techniques, people frequently don’t follow through on them. The concept offers a game-based, interactive solution to this problem that promotes lung diaphragm workouts. The breathing exercises are made more interesting by this approach, which uses inhaled and exhaled air pressure as game inputs. The suggested system offers a novel method of evaluating respiratory health by combining hardware and software to continuously monitor EBC pH values. This application provides users with useful feedback and may help in the early detection of respiratory problems by analyzing pH levels to determine whether lung function is within normal or abnormal ranges. This strategy combines interactive technology and health monitoring to enhance lung health management and respiratory exercise compliance.

PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
1. The World Health Organization's (WHO) primary focus in recent years
has been on the importance of exercising to monitor respiratory illnesses.
To improve a person's quality of life, engaging activities were completed
using our game mode with various highlights. Lack of interest in
exercising is the main issue that patients encounter. Patients are unwilling
to exercise as a result of this disinterest, even if they are not concerned
about their health.
2. To address this issue, our project created an interactive gaming-based
diaphragm enhancement with pH monitoring of exhaled air for lung
condition assessment. This was done by creating a gaming website that
would inspire or urge patients to exercise. The gaming unit and the pH
measuring unit are the primary components into which our project's
entire system is divided. Using information from the World Health
Organization, we designed games for just three respiratory disease
disorders in our system.
3. We developed websites for medical access, gaming, sign-up/Iog-in, and
other functions in the gaming section. With the aid of technology, the air
pressure inhaled and exhaled through the mouth serves as an input to the
gaming website. The key parts of the gaming unit's hardware, such as the
pressure sensor and node MCU, were designed to transmit data to the
gaming website over wi-fi. pH measurement is another unit that
determines the pH level of the air that is exhaled by condensation. The
resultant value of the pH measurement is used to indicate if the user's
lung condition is normal or abnormal.
4. One of the most significant aspects of this endeavor is the interference of
doctors with patient data. To examine or review their patients' data for
future clinical practice, doctors must also register and log in. The primary
key to activating the game relevant to the patient's medical problems is
the data we store on the website. Additionally, we planned to recommend
a diet plan to the user based on their progress in the game and their
health.


DESCRIPTION
1. The interactive gaming and pH monitoring mainly depend on the
exhaled and inhaled respiratory air. The simultaneous process of both the
gaming part and pH measurement has a single supply of air through a mask
which has two inlet valves for gaming input and pH measurement
respectively. Interactive gaming is designed to improve the respiratory
health. The games are designed for specific respiratory medical conditions.
2. The gaming provides specific exercises that are controlled by an
equipped pressure sensor that detects the expiratory and inspiratory phases,
helping users enhance lung function. The games are developed with various
levels for the three respiratory medical conditions with sensor input and are
typically designed to improve user interactivity through physical feedback.
The input is transferred by microcontroller via wi-fi.
3. In addition, the system was designed to measure the pH value of the
exhaled air from the mouth for monitoring respiratory condition. This was
achieved by condensation of the exhaled air by liquid nitrogen in the closed
chamber, which then undergoes measurement of pH value from the
condensed liquid by pH sensor. The pH measurement is particularly useful
in monitoring health and analyzing the improvement of the user while
interacting with the gaming.

4. The website allows the doctor access with a sign-up/login page, thus
the user's details are secured and the profile is created by the user. In this
system, for the initial gaming plan, we focused on common respiratory
diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma,
and Postoperative recovery are developed. Further, the choice of the valid
processed respiratory condition of the user was required to activate the
game.
5. In addition, the proper diet plans to improve their respiratory health
and the body mass index of the user were also included in this system,
which helps the user to follow the suggested diet plan. The medicine
remainder is also involved to remind the user to take the medicines as per
the Physician recommendation. The above plans are updated according to
their performance for every user to enhance the repeated exercise.


Problem Description:
1. Patients are inactive or less interested in practicing their respiratory
exercises.
2. Patients require the motivation to exercise in an efficient way to
improve their health care.
3. In existing respiratory games with a shortage of features for practicing
their exercise efficiently is a concern.
4. Moreover, there is no indication of their lung condition to the users or
patients accurately
The objectives of this invention are,
1. To motivate users through engaging strategies that enhance their
adherence to breathing exercises, promoting better respiratory health
outcomes.
2. To monitor the pH levels of exhaled breath to give users instant
feedback on their lung health, allowing for better management of
respiratory issues.
3. To approve the viability of the gaming approach by collaborating with
doctors for thorough examination and feedback on its effectiveness in
managing respiratory health.
4. To effectively maintain the user's health, some features are included
like a personalized diet plan that will be recommended based on their
specific medical condition.

SUMMARY
This interactive gaming with pH measuring is designed to enhance comfort
and support respiratory health improvement. By integrating gaming with
exercise and measuring the pH, patients, and caregivers can monitor and
improve their lungs. The system uses a mask to manage airflow for gaming
and pH measurement in dual valves. For enhancing lung function, games are
tailored to a specific respiratory condition like COPD, Asthma, and post-
operative recovery, using a pressure sensor to detect inhalation and
exhalation. The games are structured into multiple levels, each designed to
gradually improve respiratory function. A pH sensor measures exhaled air's
pH after condensation with liquid nitrogen, providing valuable data for
tracking health progress. A secure online platform allows healthcare
professionals to access patient profiles and review exercise results, track body
mass index, and recommend personalized diet and medication reminders. The
updating of the remainder and diet plans was done according to their
involvement and repetition of the exercise

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the project is noted for effectively addressing the critical
challenge of engaging patients in regular exercise to improve respiratory
health and monitor. Our project is interactive gaming with advanced pH
monitoring of exhaled air, the system has developed a gaming platform that
not only motivates users to stay active but also provides valuable concern
about their lung health. The integration of a user-friendly gaming website,
real-time data collection through pressure sensors and a medical interface for
doctors focused to enhance the overall effectiveness of the solution. In
addition, personalized diet plans based on the user's progress are designed to
support patients in their journey toward better health. This innovative
approach is seen as aligning with the WHO's focus on exercise and
respiratory illness while paving the way for a proactive healthcare experience
and more engaging. Ultimately, the project's goal is to transform the
perception of exercise from a chore to a rewarding activity and enjoyable,
thereby improving the quality of life for individuals with respiratory
conditions.


Advantage of creating this areas follows:
