An Automated Chronic Disease Management for Cardiac Arrest Detection and Prevention on Emergency usingInternet of Medical Things (IoMT)

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a world of interconnected things that can sense, stimulate, and collaborate with one another and with the environment. Heart attacks have become more common in recent years, putting people's lives at risk. However, it is extremely complex and difficult to maintain/monitor health conditions in physical mode all the time, especially at night and while traveling. If a senior person or patient suffers from health issues such as sudden cardiac arrest or a rise/fall in blood pressure levels in their body, it will be incredibly tough to receive immediate assistance from others as well as medical agencies. The suggested method uses a pulse sensor to automatically monitor heart rate and a MEMS pressure sensor incorporated into IoMT devices to measure blood pressure (BP). If an elderly individual has a cardiac arrest, an automatic call with the exact GPS location is sent to a nearby ambulance service and their caretakers. The benefit of this method is to prevent unexpected death or major illness due to heart disease and may also be conveniently monitored by sending text messages with their heartbeat rate as a daily report to caretakers.
