Project Summary

The real time monitoring and analysis of the conditions of the patients have always been a challenge to the medical professionals. As it would enable them to deal with many of the problems faced by them. The project deals with the e-health monitoring of the heart patients in the context of e-health, enabling the medical professionals to be aware of the conditions of the patients remotely. The project focusing on the IOT and ECG (Electrocardiogram) sensor-based system maintaining a data log of all the cardiac activities of the user and making its accessibility available to the user. The information provided by the system would prove very crucial for the treatment of the user and will enable a detailed analysis on the medical condition of the user/patient. The prediction on the future medical conditions will also be possible for the medical professionals by having a detailed analysis on the data log maintained by the system.

Project Objectives

The heart is one of the most important organs of human body. Taking care of heart is necessary and mandatory as well. A healthy heart requires a time to time checkup of its activities or sometimes on some medical advice through some professional. The functional activities of heart are analyzed through a test called ECG (Electrocardiogram). ECG is the most basic and mandatory test asked by a doctor when consulted. The aim of our project is to introduce a device which would be able to do ECG of the patient in the most accurate way and be able to record a complete database of all the tests taken through the device. In this way, it would be very convenient for a doctor to analyze the current condition of the patient based on the track record of that patient. One more feature it includes is that the ECG device would be economical for the patient. The device could benefit by conducting multiple number of ECG tests on paying a one-time amount of the device. The final deliverable complement the equipment’s used in the hospital sector and extend remote care-monitoring with long-term records of the activity and vital signs while the user performs daily activities. These devices can capture events that occur infrequently or under speci?c circumstances and provide a realistic perspective for diagnostics. This ability can help to reduce healthcare costs, considering that it is more expensive to hospitalize a patient for days than to monitor remotely or at home to capture irregular events in cardiac activity.

Project Implementation Method

The microcontroller system used for developing the project is an ESP32 DOIT DevkitV1 board with the CP210x USB to UART chip. The built-in ESP32 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) features 12-bit resolution. Built-in Bluetooth is to transfer data onto the software app. Regarding ECG signal conditioning, the AD8232 board from is used. This project incorporates the AD8232 heart rate monitor front-end microchip conveniently mounted with test pins and jumpers to configure the circuit for application evaluations. Another sensor used is the pulse sensor to measure the beats per minute and waveform of ECG. SD Card module to upload and record data on SD card and then further upload it on cloud. The implementation of ECG test along with IoT in medical and health sector would prove to be remarkable in terms of remotely controlled systems. The project will be highlighting on the issues of heart patients. The system will be consisting of ECG (Electrocardiogram) sensors which will be sensing the cardiac activities of the patients based on the IoT setup which will further enable the accessibility of the services and control of the system to the users. Further a data log will be maintained based on recent cardiac activities so that the analysis can be done of the patients and will also be provided helpful in the treatment of the patient/user. A data log maintained will also be beneficial in the future cardiac disease prediction. The remote accessibility would be assured to the user so that the real time results can be accessed. Cloud integration will further enhance the ability for future analysis.

Benefits of the Project

A portable and cost effective solution through which medical personnel can perform ECG tests various times. The IoT setup will transfer the data onto an app and cloud integration will further enhance our ability for predictive analysis. The aim of this project is to provide medical personnel and clinicians with e-health monitoring so that they may find it easier to take ECG of patients. Another aspect of this is to refrain from getting the report of ECG. The direct uploading of ECG parameters using IoT on mobile application is to help clinicians to every time take out a print of ECG continuously. The portability of the device allows local clinicians to keep this device in local clinics and cost effectiveness will allow them to afford the end product. User-friendly mobile application will help the end user to easily use the device. One more feature it includes is that the ECG device would be economical for the patient. The device could benefit by conducting multiple number of ECG tests on paying a one-time amount of the device. Remote access of the data will allow doctors to access data from the cloud anywhere in the world.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The main objective of final deliverable is to enhance accuracy of the portable solution.
