Underwater Visible Light Communication for Scuba Divers Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Diving has become a common way of performing research in the underwater living world. One of the major problems with diving is the health issues faced by the divers during diving and there comes the need for monitoring diver’s health. This paper mainly focuses on the health monitoring systems for divers by transferring the data using Li-Fi (Light Fidelity). This system senses different health specifications like heartbeat, body temperature and body position. The monitored health specifications are recorded as a database in a memory chip for further analysis. To reduce the power consumption, the system transfers the data to the nearby divers and ships only during the abnormal health issue. The uniqueness of this system lies in its combination of advanced technologies for diver safety, communication, and submarine surveillance. This is crucial for ensuring their safety, especially in challenging underwater environments. This is perhaps one of the most unique aspects. Li-Fi, which uses light to transmit data, is a breakthrough for underwater communication. This system provides real-time data on the diver's condition and an immediate way to request assistance in case of an emergency. By incorporating temperature and gyro monitoring, the system collects valuable data on diver conditions and movements. This data could be analyzed for research or used to improve safety protocols in the future.
