8Heart Rate Monitoring Using IoT and AI

Health plays a crucial role in the lives of humans, irrespective of the remaining things on this Earth. To lead a good life with normal health, all health-related parameters must work properly and accurately. Regular heartbeat is one among them. One in four deaths and more than 10 million cases per year in India are due to heart disease and stroke. The percentage may increase when considering the rest of the world. An irregular heartbeat, also called arrhythmia, may not be recognized by a person who experiences it. It may not have real symptoms and may occur when the electrical signals or impulses do not function properly inside the cardiac system. But people can lead a normal life if it is identified and diagnosed properly. The idea is to design a small chip-like device that can be carriable and connected to the cloud using the Internet of Things (IoT). The sensors include a heartbeat sensor and temperature sensor that will collect and send heart signals and temperature continuously to the cloud. These signals will be scrutinized by an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model. This model will be trained to detect the different kinds of heartbeats as per the situation the person lives in. The model learns the patterns of heartbeat signals and tries to recognize the patterns. The learned model tries to predict irregular heartbeats in future recordings. This system is also capable of sending a message to the person if there is an irregular (unhealthy) ...
