Abstract
The healthcare sector has made significant strides with IoT technology, yet a concerning increase in sudden cardiac arrest cases persists, especially in developing nations with limited access to advanced medical devices. This research aims to provide a cost-effective, IoT-integrated solution to address gaps observed in existing cardiac emergency response systems. The Heart Monitoring System captures essential physiological parameters such as BPM, ECG, and SpO2 through accessible sensors, seamlessly relaying data to a smartphone app for comprehensive cardiac health monitoring. Managed by a Raspberry Pi3b+, the system successfully transmits real-time heart vitals to the app. Additionally, it features an advanced emergency alarm triggered during critical situations, enhancing responsiveness and ensuring prompt notifications. The study identifies limitations and proposes areas for improvement, laying the foundation for a portable, affordable, and innovative cardiac health monitoring system committed to user safety.
