Early Warning System for Possible Heart Attacks Using IOT

Abstract

Now-a-days, diseases related to heart are mounting at a very great speed. Due to these problems, timely health check up has become vital. A modern concept of health monitoring a patient includes wirelessly monitoring. It is a major development in medical arena. This system depends on doctor examining patient continuously without patient being physically present for check up. In medical science, excellent and cost effective gadgets related to monitoring health utilizing popular technologies such as wireless communications and portable remote health monitoring device are developed. This development provides ease to the patients having various diseases. As a result, visit of patients to the doctors constantly has lowered because various types of reports can be generated remotely and wirelessly at doctor’s end at regular interval of time. Because of this recent development in scientific technology, doctors are saving several lives. Internet of Things provides platform for development of many intelligent gadgets & applications. IoT infrastructure provides base of connectivity and technology. IoT intelligent devices can implement the facilities of monitoring health remotely and notifying any health issues in emergency. In this paper, we propose a design for transfer of personal medical information and facility for storing the same over cloud infrastructure. The hardware devices like Raspberry Pi, Heartbeat sensor, Blood Pressure sensor, SpO2 sensor, Body Temperature sensor will be used in this system. Raspberry Pi will perform dual role of being a sensor node as well as system controller.
