Abstract

This research paper is related to the development of low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) based heart rate monitoring system for telemedicine applications using Arduino. A study had explored about the techniques and the technologies that used in this heart rate monitoring system, Photoplethysmography (PPG) is meaning that the light emits on the skin surface is used to detect heart rate. This main objective in the research is to develop a portable, cheap, functional monitoring system to obtain an accurate pulse or heart rate. With the improvement of living standards and the growth of economic pressure, people begin to pay attention to their own physical health. Research shows that in resting heart rate, children 10 years and older, and adults (including seniors) have a heart rate of about 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). The heart rate parameter can be obtained and show using a third-party application such as ThingSpeak or Blynk. It is easier to detect any heart-based disorders if the bpm is either lower or higher. Therefore, the implementation of a heart rate monitoring system is significant for people in order to make sure their health is in excellent condition.
