Abstract

In contemporary times, heart diseases have emerged as the leading cause of untimely deaths. To tackle this alarming situation, engineers have developed a range of medical devices for diagnosing and scrutinizing various diseases. Numerous patients suffer from heart problems that pose critical threats to their lives, thereby necessitating continuous monitoring via traditional monitoring systems such as Electrocardiography (ECG). However, this technique is available only in hospitals, making it prohibitively expensive and inaccessible to remote patients. The advent of wireless technologies has paved the way for building a network of connected devices through the internet. To address this issue, a proposed ECG monitoring system comprises an AD8382 ECG sensor for reading patient data, an Arduino Uno, an ESP32 Wi-Fi module, and an IoT Blynk application. Implementing this healthcare system would enable doctors to remotely monitor patients using the IoT Blynk application installed on their smartphones, which processes and visualizes the patient's ECG signal. This monitoring process can be carried out at any time and from any location, without requiring patients to visit the hospital.

To conclude, the compact and integrated system design could revolutionize the healthcare industry by making it more accessible and affordable to patients. By providing real-time monitoring, this system could help doctors diagnose and treat heart diseases more effectively. Therefore, it is imperative to promote such innovative technologies to improve healthcare services worldwide.
