WEEK 5

For the fifth week, the research has been done related to the project given. This day, the monitoring system that has been done in the healthcare industries, that have the medical equipment like imaging equipment, is HVAC system, which is stand for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. The current system need the healthcare staff to manually do the regular check up to the room that has been place the equipment, to make sure the temperature and humidity in the room is not exceed or less than its standard reading. This is to make sure that the medical equipment is in good condition because if the temperature and humidity is higher or lower the standard reading, the equipment is at risk of damage. 

       The research related to LoRa technology is also been done to make more understanding about the device, especially about its function. LoRa technology is a wireless radio frequency technology that is been use to transmit the data in long range, which is the data can be send in long distance, up to 8 kilometers. 

                          

Example of the LoRa modules, SX1278

The figure show the one of the LoRa module, SX1278 that will be used in the project. Its specification, fulfill the criteria for the project.
