Abstract: In the present day world, the polluted environment paves way for huge number of health problems. It is not always easy for a doctor to continuously monitor his patient. The main aim of this paper is to conduct a survey on the existing healthcare devices and to develop a more efficient system. The best way to acquire health information is from an electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis. Through an ECG, characteristics such as patientâ€™s heart disorders, heart conditions, and heart disease can be analyzed. Unfortunately, most available healthcare devices do not provide clinical data and history of the patientsâ€™ heart activities. Many researchers have tried to solve this problem by inventing portable ECG systems with a chest strap or wrist band, but their performances were not satisfactory for practical purposes. Thus, the aim of this study is to build a new system for early detection and warning system for heart attacks. The proposed system consists of a sensor network for collecting information regarding the heart condition and this sensor network sends data on a continual basis , filtered, and effectively mined to the doctors mobile phone by first sending to a cloud server where all the patient history is stored. For effectiveness, the proposed strategy is outfitted with analysis capabilities-e. g., A real-time QRS-wave detection has been implemented by passing through a high pass and low pass filter. The system can identify premature heart muscle contractions(PVC), which are very important for the subjects who are being monitored. In this work, we highlight the opportunities and challenges for IoT in realizing this vision of the future of health care.
