Blynk App Setup

Download and Install the Blynk App

Download the Blynk app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
Install the app on your smartphone or tablet.

Create a New Blynk Project

Open the Blynk app and create a new account or log in if you already have one.
Tap on the “Create New Project” button.
Give your project a name (e.g., Health Monitoring System).
Select the ESP32 board as the device.
Choose the appropriate connection type (Wi-Fi).

Obtain the Authentication Token

After creating the project, you’ll receive an email containing the authentication token.
Check your email and copy the authentication token.

Set up the Blynk App Interface

Open the Blynk app and go to your project.
Tap on the “+” icon to add a widget.
Choose the appropriate widget type for each of the following parameters:
Temperature: Select the Value Display widget and assign it to Virtual Pin V3.
Humidity: Select the Value Display widget and assign it to Virtual Pin V4.
Heart Rate: Select the Value Display widget and assign it to Virtual Pin V5.
SpO2: Select the Value Display widget and assign it to Virtual Pin V6.
Body Temperature: Select the Value Display widget and assign it to Virtual Pin V7.
Customize the appearance and settings of the widgets as desired.

Update the Code with the Blynk Authentication Token

In the Arduino code, locate the line: char auth[] = "G9nCH4W7AWUwviplzwpGLleH0fOdXF9_";.

Connect the ESP32 Board to the Blynk App

Make sure your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your ESP32 board.
Upload the modified code to your ESP32 board.
Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE to monitor the board’s status.
Once the ESP32 board is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi, it will establish a connection with the Blynk server. The Serial Monitor will display the connection status.
If the connection is successful, the board will start sending sensor data to the Blynk app.

Monitor Sensor Readings on the Blynk App

Go back to the Blynk app and ensure you are on your project’s screen.
You should see the sensor readings (temperature, humidity, heart rate, SpO2, and body temperature) displayed on their respective widgets.
