Abstract

The emerging Internet of Things(IoT) framework allows us to design small devices that are capable of sensing, processing and communicating, allowing sensors, embedding devices and other ' things ' to be created which will help to understand the surroundings. In this paper, the IoT assisted electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring framework with secure data transmission has been proposed for continuous cardiovascular health monitoring. The development and implementation of a lightweight ECG Signal Strength Analysis has been proposed for automatic classification and realtime implementation, using ECG sensors, Arduino, Android phones, Bluetooth and cloud servers with the proposed IoT-assisted ECG monitoring system. For secure data transmission, the Lightweight Secure IoT (LS-IoT) and Lightweight Access Control (LAC) has been proposed. The ECG signals taken from the MIT-BIH and Physio Net Challenges databases and ECG signals for various physical activities are analyzed and checked in real-time. The proposed IoT assisted ECG monitoring framework has great potential to determine the clinical acceptance of ECG signals to improve the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of an unsupervised diagnostic system.

Highlights

  • Medical care services have been one of the most significant problems for both people and governments with a rapid increase in human populations and preserve usage [1]

  • IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF ECG THROUGH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ECG signals are monitored for longer periods of time to examine the effect of physical activity on the ECG signal strength

  • The results show that, for noise-free and noisy ECG signals obtained from datasets, an average sensitivity of over 98% and 99% is available from this proposed Signal Strength Analysis (SSA) method

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Medical care services have been one of the most significant problems for both people and governments with a rapid increase in human populations and preserve usage [1]. The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Wei Wei. The equipment usually uses twelve electrodes to collect ECG information in one centralized location, because the system is possibly not flexible, which means that activities for the patients are highly limited during information collection [7]–[9]. The equipment usually uses twelve electrodes to collect ECG information in one centralized location, because the system is possibly not flexible, which means that activities for the patients are highly limited during information collection [7]–[9] As these devices are usually excessively expensive for home usage, patients have to always attend a doctor’s office that raises the weight of the medical facilities.
