Introduction

a smart IoT-based health monitoring system for early migraine detection and management using multiple biomedical sensors and cloud technology.

The system uses an ESP32 microcontroller connected to an EEG sensor, heart rate and SpO? sensor (MAX30102), and temperature sensor (DS18B20) to continuously collect brain and body signals. These signals are filtered, processed, and compared against predefined thresholds to detect abnormal patterns related to migraine onset.

The processed data is sent in real time to a cloud platform (Firebase) via Wi-Fi, where it is stored and displayed on a web dashboard for remote monitoring. If abnormal conditions are detected, the system triggers alerts for early intervention.

Experiment results show that the system:

• Successfully captures stable EEG and physiological signals
• Provides real-time cloud updates with minimal delay
• Detects stress-related patterns (e.g., increased beta brain waves, rising heart rate)
• Maintains reliable long-term operation with low power consumption
