Smart Heart Monitoring System Using IoT and Pulse Sensor Technology

This paper introduces an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled heart monitoring system that utilizes a pulse sensor to monitor heart rate in real time. The proposed system enables remote tracking of a patient's heart rate, allowing for the early identification of irregularities. Data gathered by the sensor is processed and transmitted via the IoT network to either a cloud platform or a mobile application for further analysis, visualization, and alerting. This system provides a continuous, non-invasive, and scalable solution for cardiovascular health monitoring, improving early detection and prevention of heart diseases. The IoT-based Heart Monitoring System leverages modern IoT technologies to facilitate real-time monitoring of heart health. It uses a pulse sensor, like the MAX30100, to measure heart rate by detecting changes in blood flow through optical signals. The collected data is then transmitted wirelessly through a microcontroller, such as an Arduino or ESP32, using either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, to a cloud platform or mobile app. The heart rate data is displayed in real-time on an interactive dashboard, enabling both patients and healthcare providers to remotely track heart health. The system is designed to send alerts if the heart rate moves outside predefined ranges, enabling early detection of potential cardiovascular issues. With continuous, non-invasive, and scalable monitoring, this IoT solution enhances patient care, promotes early intervention, and aids in managing heart-related diseases. By integrating cloud computing, the system ensures convenient data access and supports long-term health monitoring, making it a valuable tool for both at-home and clinical applications.
