Introduction
IoT enabled devices have made remote monitoring in the healthcare
sector possible, unleashing the potential to keep patients safe
and healthy, and empowering physicians to deliver superlative
care.
It has also increased patient engagement and satisfaction as
interactions with doctors have become easier and more efficient.
IoT is undoubtedly transforming the healthcare industry by
redefining the space of devices and people interaction in
delivering healthcare solutions.
IoT has applications in healthcare that benefit patients, families,
physicians, hospitals and insurance companies.
Motivation
Deaths due to Heart Attack

28005
25764
23246

2017 2018 2019

Motivation
▪ CVDs are the number 1 cause of death globally: more people
die annually from CVDs than from any other cause.
▪ An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2016,
representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85%
are due to heart attack and stroke.
▪ Over three quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and
middle-income countries.
▪ Out of the 17 million premature deaths (under the age of 70)
due to noncommunicable diseases in 2015, 82% are in low-
and middle-income countries, and 37% are caused by CVDs.

Research Gaps
▪ Since ECG sensor is not enough in measuring things like Blood
Pressure (which a major cause for heart related issues) . A sensor
for accurate bp measurement should be included.
▪ The system isn’t connected with any application which can inform
the user about any sort of abnormalities.
▪ An application should be used which gives a daily popup of
precautions , exercises , medicine which and prescribed by the
doctor and simultaneously give the report to the doctor that if the
patient has followed up with the prescription.
▪ In case of an emergency where time is very important , using GSP
the device should also inform anyone near the victim (maybe a
random person) for help. (only in severe situation)
Base paper
▪ Devices in the form of wearables like fitness bands and other
wirelessly connected devices give patients access to personalized
attention. These devices can be tuned to remind calorie count, exercise
check, appointments, blood pressure variations and much more.
▪ IoT has changed people’s lives, especially elderly patients, by enabling
constant tracking of health conditions. This has a major impact on
people living alone and their families.
▪ On any disturbance or changes in the routine activities of a
person(mainly old age), alert mechanism sends signals to family
members and concerned health providers.
▪ IoT also has a major impact on reducing healthcare costs significantly
and improving treatment outcomes.
Future
▪ In the upcoming years, IoT based healthcare applications will
become common throughout the world.
▪ There are different applications of IoT in healthcare such as blood
glucose level monitoring using non-invasive techniques which is a
boon for diabetes patients. Body temperature sensors aid in
recording and transmission of body temperature. The percentage
of oxygen in blood can be monitored using non invasive method.
▪ The various health parameters of a patient can be monitored
periodically at home and the data can be remotely accessed by the
doctor using IoT technologies and proper treatment can be given to
the patient.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that when such a system can be produced successfully
while ensuring security, accuracy and speed, it can do wonders in the field of
medicine.
Especially to improve the quick response time of coronary artery disease and
cerebrovascular accidents, i.e. , heart attacks and strokes.
In the infancy stages of this prototype, such a concept looks very convenient.
Since almost all developments are based on previously existing equipment, the
success of this prototype depends on the accuracy rate of previously existing
devices by a very large factor.
Assuming each aspect to go in accordance with the proposed prototype, it may
be fairly concluded that the prototype can be tested further without hesitation.
