Healthcare Framework for Risk Analysis of Hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is sometimes called a "silent killer", since it has no warning signs, yet it can lead to life-threatening conditions. The good news is prevention and treatment for hypertension can be done with early diagnosis. So, there is a need for real time monitoring of blood pressure that can be done using Internet of Things (IoT) assisted health monitoring system. The proposed system collects the user’s health parameters using IoT sensors and identifies the stage of hypertension. The vital point of this system is to continuously generate emergency alerts of blood pressure fluctuation and dangerous changes in any other health parameters to hypertensive users on their mobile phones.
