Wearable Internet of Cardiac Health (IoCH) Monitoring: The need of the Hour

Abstract

In the recent years, the advancements in the wearable sensor technology has made it possible to apply sensor embedded IoT devices such as smart watch, smart glass, smart phone, and smart helmet to monitor the vital cardiac health parameters. The sensor embedded IoT devices collects the healthcare data in a continuous fashion, which are least useful if not stored, processed, and analyzed in a real-time. Moreover, mearly real-time processing of the healthcare data may not serve the purpose as the underlying data might be highly unstructured and messy. Therefore, Artificial Intelligent (AI) assisted analytical models are required to analyze the healthcare data for cardiac early warning prediction. In this paper, we provide a narrative mini review on the recent advancement in wearable technology is discussed. The paper describes the growin problem of Coronary Heart Diseases (CHDs) and the wearable devices that assist in the acquisition of healthcare data.
