Low cost Ecg monitoring using internet of things

Abstract

Patient monitoring is the heart of the health care domain in day to day life either at home or at hospital. This paper focuses an Intelligent ECG Monitoring System to monitor the heart patients residing at distant places at low cost and complexity using Internet of Things. The proposed system automatically screens the health condition of the patient and records their Electrocardiogram through heart rate sensor and ATtiny Board. ATtiny is a low cost IoT device used along with heart rate sensor and ESP8266 to record the electrocardiogram of the patients. The ECG is sent to the doctors, nurses or the patient’s relatives residing in the remote places through the internet to help them in remote monitoring of the patients with ease.
