Key result
Wireless healthcare monitoring prototype achieves 95% accuracy tracking patient vitals.
Why the study?
Most cardiovascular disease deaths are unexpected, leaving no time for medical care, making continuous ECG and heart rate monitoring critical for cardiac patients.
A prototype IoT-based wireless sensor network for ECG and heart rate monitoring demonstrated 95% accuracy and a 10-second response time.
Prototype performance supports wireless sensor exploration for cardiac monitoring; leaves open prospective validation before any clinical use.
In India, as in the rest of the world, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading killer. The majority of CVD deaths are unexpected, leaving no time to administer medical care. Precautions must constantly be taken to prevent sudden accidental fatalities. This is why electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and heart rate monitoring are so important for cardiac patients. Using a wireless sensor network (WSN), we demonstrate the three-tier architecture of a healthcare monitoring system prototype we've constructed to keep tabs on key patient vitals. Connecting various biosensors to an Arduino Nano board allows for the wireless transmission of recorded signals to a server, where they may be analyzed. Thing Speak is an internet of things (IOT) application that transmits data to remote servers where it may be accessed by doctors and caretakers. Smartphone alerts can be sent to carer's in the event of an emergency. Patients with heart conditions can benefit from the system, but it also has applications in caring for newborns and elderly people at home and in medical facilities. The technology is 95% accurate with a response time of 10 seconds.
