The Role of IoT in Cardiovascular Diseases: Opportunities for Growth and Improvement.
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality
worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 31% of
all deaths are caused by CVDs [1]. Early detection and management of CVDs can help
reduce the morbidity and mortality rates. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology
that can be utilized to improve the management of CVDs [2].

IoT can be used to monitor and analyze a patient's health status in real-time, providing
healthcare professionals with timely data to make informed decisions. This research
proposal aims to investigate the applications of IoT in handling CVDs [3]. The use of IoT
in healthcare is not a new concept, but its applications in managing CVDs is still a
relatively new area of research. Therefore, this research is significant as it can help in
providing insights into the potential of IoT in improving the management of CVDs [4].

Origin of the research problem: The increasing prevalence of CVDs and the need for
early detection and management of CVDs have led to the exploration of various
technologies that can improve CVDs management. IoT is one such technology that can
be utilized to improve the management of CVDs. However, there is a need to investigate
the applications of IoT in handling CVDs to determine its efficacy and potential
limitations[5]. The use of IoT in healthcare has several potential benefits, such as remote
patient monitoring, personalized treatment plans, and early detection of diseases.
However, the implementation of IoT in healthcare is not without challenges.

Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the potential limitations and challenges of using IoT
in managing CVDs[6]. Literature Review Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major
cause of death worldwide, and their management is critical to prevent morbidity and
mortality. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has shown great
potential in improving the management of CVDs.

IoT-based systems provide continuous, real-time monitoring and data analysis, which
can assist healthcare professionals in making timely decisions and providing
personalized care to patients. Several studies have explored the potential of IoT in
managing CVDs. For example, Liang et al. (2019) [7] proposed an IoT-based continuous

However, most of the studies are limited to small-scale experiments, and there is a need
for large-scale clinical trials to validate the effectiveness of IoT-based systems in clinical
settings Research Gap: Although various studies have investigated the applications of
IoT in handling CVDs, there is still a need to investigate the potential limitations and
challenges of using IoT in managing CVDs. Furthermore, there is a need to investigate
the efficacy of using IoT in handling CVDs in real-world scenarios. Our Research
Objective and Approach: The objective of this research is to investigate the applications
of IoT in handling CVDs.

The research will aim to achieve the following specific objectives: Review the existing
literature on the applications of IoT in handling CVDs Investigate the potential
limitations and challenges of using IoT in managing CVDs Investigate the efficacy of
using IoT in handling CVDs in real-world scenarios To achieve the research objectives,
the following approach will be used: Conduct a systematic review of the literature to
identify the existing research on the applications of IoT in handling CVDs. Analyze the
literature to identify the potential limitations and challenges of using IoT in managing
CVDs. Conduct case studies in real-world scenarios to investigate the efficacy of using
IoT in handling CVDs.

Methodology: To find related research papers, We will conduct a systematic literature

review using various databases such as PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ScienceDirect. The
keywords used in the search will include "Internet of Things", "IoT", "cardiovascular
diseases", "CVDs", "heart diseases", "hypertension", "remote monitoring", "patient
management", "wearable devices", and "smart healthcare". The search will be limited to
papers published between 2016 and 2022 in English. To streamline the number of
papers, we will use filters such as the relevance of the paper's title and abstract, the
study design, and the quality of the paper.

We will also exclude duplicate papers and papers that do not meet the inclusion criteria.
We expect to identify at least 20 related research papers. Once we have identified the
related research papers, we will conduct a thematic analysis to identify the themes and
patterns in the literature. The analysis will involve coding the data and identifying the
relationships between the codes. We will use the themes and patterns identified in the
literature to guide the investigation of the potential limitations and challenges of using
IoT in managing CVDs.

For the case studies, we will recruit patients with CVDs who are willing to participate in
the study. We will provide the patients with wearable devices that will be used to
monitor their vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. The
data collected from the wearable devices will be transmitted to a secure cloud-based
platform, which will be accessed by healthcare professionals for remote monitoring and
management of the patients. We will collect data on the patients' health outcomes,
healthcare utilization, and patient satisfaction.

We will also conduct interviews with the patients and healthcare professionals to gain
insights into their experiences with using IoT in managing CVDs. Conclusion: In
conclusion, this research proposal aims to investigate the applications of IoT in handling
CVDs. The use of IoT in healthcare is a promising technology that can improve the
management of CVDs. However, there is a need to investigate the potential limitations
and challenges of using IoT in managing CVDs. This research will provide insights into
the efficacy of using IoT in handling CVDs and contribute to the body of knowledge in
this area.
