The Design and Implementation of Mobile Heart Monitoring Applications using Wearable Heart Rate Sensor

Abstract

Heart monitoring is important to deter any catastrophic because of heart failure that may happen. Continuous real-time heart monitoring could prevent sudden death due to heart attack. Nevertheless, the major challenge associated with continuous heart monitoring in the traditional approach is to undertake regular medical check-ups at the hospital or clinic. Hence, the aim of this study is to develop a mobile app where patients can real-time monitor their heart rate (HR) and detect abnormal HR whenever it occurs. Caregivers will be notified when a patient is detected with abnormal HR. The mobile app was developed for Android-based smartphones. A wearable HR sensor is used to collect RR data and transmitted to the smartphone via Bluetooth connection. User acceptance test was conducted to comprehend the intention and satisfaction level of the prospective users to use the application. The user acceptance test shows compatibility, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, and behavioral intention to use had a high acceptance rate. It is expected that the developed app may provide a more plausible tool in monitoring HR personally, conveniently, and continuously at any time and anywhere.

“…In healthcare, for example, the trend of heart monitoring through smart watches and mobile Apps is increasing dramatically. Authors of [40] developed an Android application to monitor the heart rate of the patients and communicate in real time, through a WhatsApp message, with the doctor if some values are not ok. These values are collected through wearable sensors which transfer the data to the smartphone through Bluetooth Low Energy technology.…”

Wearable Sensor for Continuous Sweat Biomarker Monitoring

“…In previous studies, most wearable sensors have focused more on the connection with smart devices. They mainly integrate various data in real-time through technical means and presents human physical parameters such as heart rate [23], blood oxygen saturation [24], exercise steps [25], breathing rate [26], blood pressure [27], and body temperature [28]. However, these types of physical monitoring may not fully meet the molecular level requirements of various human health monitoring because they cannot provide the characteristics of related diseases early and establish prevention models.…”
