Abstract

This project introduces an Internet of Things(IoT) based low-cost Electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart monitoring system designed around the esp32 microcontroller and integrated with the platform like ubidots. With cardiovascular diseases being a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, the need for accessible and affordable cardiac monitoring solutions is paramount. The proposed system addresses this need by employing low-cost ECG sensors, the ESP32 microcontroller, and the Ubidots cloud platform to create a realtime, remote monitoring system. The ESP32 serves as the core component for data acquisition, processing, and transmission, ensuring the seamless integration of ECG signals into the Ubidots cloud. The Ubidots platform, known for its user-friendly interface and secure cloud environment, enables healthcare professionals to remotely access and monitor patients' ECG data in real-time. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a crucial diagnostic tool for monitoring heart health, particularly in remote or resource-limited areas where access to healthcare infrastructure is limited. However, traditional ECG machines are often expensive and require specialized expertise for operation, posing challenges for widespread adoption in such settings. This project aims to address these limitations by developing a low-cost ECG machine tailored for remote healthcare monitoring. Our system leverages affordable off-the-shelf components and innovative design to create a portable, user-friendly device suitable for use in diverse environments.Key features of our ECG machine include:- Cost-effective hardware components, ensuring affordability without compromising on performance.User-friendly interface for easy operation by healthcare professionals and patients alike.Wireless connectivity options for real-time transmission of ECG data to healthcare providers.Integration with smartphone applications for data visualization and remote monitoring.Compact and portable design for flexibility in deployment and use in various healthcare settings.The development process involves hardware design, software development, and rigorous testing to ensure accuracy, reliability, and compliance with medical standards. Additionally, the project emphasizes scalability and sustainability, with a focus on minimizing power consumption and maximizing durability to withstand challenging environmental conditions.By providing an accessible and affordable solution for ECG monitoring, our low-cost ECG machine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery in underserved communities, enabling early detection and intervention for cardiovascular conditions and improving patient outcomes.
