Abstract
This research paper presents the design and implementation of an internet of things-based (IoT) smart framework for human heartbeat rate monitoring and control system. A comprehensive study of various techniques and technologies that are used in controlling the heartbeat rate is explored. The proposed system was designed and implemented on a breadboard with the various system components that are assembled, connected and tasted. Experimental results obtained from the implemented prototype were found to be accurate, as the system was able to sense and read the heartbeat rate of its user and transmit the sensed data through the internet. The system components were soldered on a breadboard, and cased inside a plastic container with the heart pulse sensor stretched, so as to be clipped on the fingertip of the system’s user. Experimental results demonstrate that the resting heartbeat rate of children below the age of 17 is between 65 to 115 beats per minute (bpm) and the resting heartbeat rate of an adult between the ages of 17 to 60 is 60 to 100 bpm. In addition, the resting heartbeat rate of old people who are 60 years old and above, their heartbeat rate is between 65 to 120 bpm. These findings are in agreement with the state-of-the-art in the medical field. Furthermore, this research paper presents an approach that is flexible, reliable, and confidential for heartbeat rate monitoring and control system using sensor network and IoT technology which can be deployed to the medical field to assist the medical practitioners in doing their work easily.

Summary
The IoT technology tremendously increases the data value, performance, efficiency, accuracy and the speed of the system operation, and the output results. The use of sensors has made data transmission, analytics and visualization efficient, as well as real-time processing. These functionalities significantly changed the way we communicate within and outside organizations and industries. Myocardial infarction or heart attack is a death of a section of a heart muscle. This death of the heart muscle will result in the interruption or stoppage of blood flow to the heart organ. The heart’s main function is to pump blood into the circulatory system in human beings and animals; if one of its ventricles fails to work in either human or animal, the heart gets attacked, and in due course, leads to death if not resuscitated on time [2]
