Implementation of Intelligent Smart Heart Health Monitoring System using IOT

Abstract

There are a lot of severe diseases that are associated with humans, but one of them is cardiac arrest, which, in general terms, we call a heart attack. The already existing heart rate monitoring systems are not mobile, are expensive, and take a little longer to give out the results. So, in this work, we will go for a system called Heart Rate Monitoring system using an ECG sensor and a Raspberry Pi, which actually represents the acquisition and interpretation of a human heart’s data collected with the help of sensors, anywhere and everywhere on the earth, through IOT. We generally consider heart rate while noting the status of the heart, but the oxygen level and body temperature also play a major role in determining the exact heart status. So, the hardware required to implement this heart rate monitoring model consists of different health sensors and a Raspberry Pi configured in a way to communicate with the guardian and the respective doctors over the Internet through an available smart mobile phone. In this work, the sensors configured with the hardware collect the required information about the patient’s health, which includes parameters such as the patient’s heart rate, body temperature, and SPo2 levels. Then, using the collected information from the sensors, the patient’s heart activity is actively observed. Thus, the patient himself or herself can easily identify his or her heart condition with the help of collected data anywhere on the earth through the internet. An alert indicating that their heart status is not good is displayed to the caretakers on the mobile, which shows a message called "abnormal condition to the patient" given the condition that the collected sensors’ values are beyond the threshold information through the GSM module, and also the GPS location of the patient will be sent to the caretakers as well as to the doctors.
