Prototype Design of an IoT Enabled Cost-Efficient Portable Heart Health Data Acquisition System

Abstract

From the last ten years, healthcare monitoring systems have become one of the most significant systems and have become more technologically focused. The world is confronting a problem of untimely death owing to a variety of ailments, which is caused by a lack of timely medical care for patients. The major objective was to develop a reliable IoT-based patient monitoring system so that medical personnel could keep an eye on their patients, whether they are in a hospital or at home, in order to give better patient care. The development of a smart phone broadband healthcare application allows for the provision of online real-time data regarding a patient's physiological state. The system consists primarily of sensors, a data acquisition unit, such as an Arduino, and software (Arduino IDE). The technology monitors and stores the patient's temperature and heart rate, which is then relayed to the doctor's mobile phone, which has the app. As a result, a realtime patient monitoring system powered by the Internet of Things may successfully track a patient's condition and save lives.
