Design of an IoT based Heart Rate Monitoring System for Cardiovascular Patients

Abstract: The Pulse Rate Monitoring system is designed using the Internet of Things with the goal of monitoring the heartbeat of the patient to screen for the risk of heart disease. Health monitoring is vital to us to ensure our health is in good condition. One of the fundamental parameters for this system viable is the pulse rate. In this paper, I describe the model of a low-cost pulse rate monitoring system from fingertips using the Bluetooth technology. The whole design is included several sections such as the Pulse Rate module, mobile application, and Bluetooth module. The Heart Rate (HR) module gets pulse signals by a painless strategy called Photoplethysmography from the patients and sends them remotely to a computer or mobile application via the Bluetooth module.

Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT), Pulse monitor, and cardiovascular disease.
