Popis: The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises the networking, computing, and storage with analytics technologies that do wonders in every aspect of human life through its applications and turns their life style as smart as possible. The application of IoT in healthcare domain would transform the medical service to be timely accessible and affordable by all people. The cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are marked as one of the most common cause of death around the world. A research study states that CVD targets the public with age limit of 30 - 60 belongs to developing countries like India in an evidential growth. The continuous monitoring of human heart, which is a fist sized strongest muscle through invasive sensors helps in early detection and anticipating necessary treatment on time. This induces a design of IoT enabled pulse rate monitoring system to continuously track the patient at anywhere and better serve them at any time through any device. The device uses easy pulse sensor and is operated through Raspberry Pi. The effectiveness of the device is analyzed against one of the top brand fingertip pulse oximeter, suggested for home and clinical usage in practice. Further the non-invasive design of pulse oximeter which determines the blood pressure (BP) using electrocardiography (ECG) and photo plethysmography (PPG) sensors.
