BSTRACT
Nowadays numerous persons are mislaying their life owing to heart attack and shortage of medical attention to patient at
correct stage. Hence, in this project we are implementing heart rate monitoring and heart attack recognition system using
IoT. The patient will carry hardware having sensors with android application. The heartbeat sensor will allow checking
heart beat readings and transmit them over the internet. The user may set the high and low level of heartbeat limits. Once
these limits are set the system can start monitoring the patient’s heartbeat and as soon as the heart beat readings goes
above or below the limit set by the user the system will send an alert about high or low heartbeat as well about chances of
heart attack.

INTRODUCTION
These days a number of people are losing their life due to heart attack. Heart attack can occur when the flow of
blood to heart is blocked. Owing to late diagnosis of heart attack we are inadequate to save the lives of many
humans. In this paper, we suggest a system that will detect heart attack by monitoring the heart rate based on
IoT (Internet of Things). For a healthy adult, ordinary heartrate is 60 to 100 bpm (beats per minute). Athlete’s
heart beat generally range from 40 to 60 bpm depending upon their fitness. If a person’s heart rate is constantly
over 100 beats per minute then the person is said to be having higher heart rate which is also notorious as
tachyarrhythmia. It can diminution the efficiency of heart by letdown the amount of blood pumped through the
body can result in chest pain and lightheadedness. With the advancement in technology it is easy to monitor the
patient’s heart rate even at home. IoT is dexterity of network mechanism to intellect and gather information
from world ubiquitously us then share the information athwart internet anywhere it can be managed for some
tenacity.

PROPOSED WORK
The proposed systemhave eminence of detecting heart attack with help of observing heart rate based on internet
of thing. Our method uses a pulse sensor, Arduino board and a Wi-Fi module. After setting up the system, the
pulse sensor will start sensing heart rate readings and will display the heartbeat of person on LCD screen. Also,
with the use of Wi-Fi module it will transmit the data over internet. System allows a set point which can help
in determining whether a person is healthy or not by checking his/her heartbeat and comparing it with set point.
After setting these limits, the system will start monitoring the heart rate of patient and immediately the heart
rate goes above or below the certain limit the system will send an alert message. As a part of this project we are
implementing an android application model that will track the heartbeat of particular patient and monitor it
correctly and give the emergency message on chances of heart attack.

heartbeat of person. The heart beat sensor which is interfaced with microcontroller senses the heartbeat of person
and transmits them over internet using Wi-Fi module. System allows setting limits of heart beat. After setting
these limits person can start monitoring the heart beat and whenever the person’s heart beat goes above certain
set point they can get an alert on high heart beat and also about chances of heart attack. Also the system alerts
for lower heartbeat.

Exercise is beneficial to the body in some ways. It is vital for people who have heart problems to perform exercise according to their condition. This paper describes how an Android platform can provide early warnings of fatigue during wushu exercise using Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. Using the data from a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope to detect heart rate, this study contributes an algorithm to determine a user's fatigue during wushu exercise. It sends vibration messages to the user's smartphone device when the heart rate exceeds the limit or is too fast during exercise. The heart rate monitoring system in the app records heart rate data in real-time while exercising. A simple pulse sensor and Android app can be used to monitor heart rate. This plug-in sensor measures heart rate based on photoplethysmography (PPG) signals during exercise. Pulse sensors can be easily inserted into the fingertip of the user. An embedded microcontroller detects the heart rate by connecting a pulse sensor transmitted via Bluetooth to the smartphone. In order to measure the impact of physical activity on heart rate, Wushu System tests are conducted using various factors, such as age, exercise speed, and duration. During testing, the Android app was found to detect heart rate with an accuracy of 95.3% and to warn the user when their heart rate rises to an abnormal level.

In today's world, many people are losing their lives due to heart attacks and the shortage of specialist doctors available to take immediate action. Hence this system provides the implementation of heart rate monitoring and controlling of a patient. For this, we have used the technology called the "GSM" to detect and monitor the heart rate of a patient. In this system, the patient will be equipped with the hardware consisting of sensors and other devices for measuring the heartbeat along with the notification unit to notify and provide data in real-time. The heartbeat sensor with advance measuring technique will calculate the heartbeat of the patient, and transmit it over the internet that can be easily accessed by the patient itself and the doctors through different electronic devices such as tablets, phones, and computers. The heartbeat limits are set on a system that informs about the high and low rate of heartbeat. It also provides continuous data for analyzing the chance of an attack on a patient

Continuous monitoring of individuals’ health, particularly those with chronic diseases, out of healthcare centers could result in lower patient traffic in healthcare centers, much more real-time health control, and faster emergency services. Hence, using the internet of things (IoTs) as an enabler of Industry 4.0 facilitating remote health monitoring has gained more attention in recent years. Although plenty of research has been focused on IoT-based health monitoring, they neglected emerging concepts like human-centered health data analytics as a significant requirement in the Healthcare 5.0 era. This paper contributes to the status of human-centered IoT-based health monitoring by conducting a descriptive analysis of the corresponding literature according to biometrics monitored, applied software, hardware, sensors, and communication models, highlighting the lack of consideration of long-term, human-centered health monitoring in the existing IoT-based health monitoring literature. Results showed that the focus of the literature has mostly been on information transit technology development and not human-centered data analytics. In addition, a gap analysis of the current literature recommendations emphasized multi-biometrics monitoring and cybersecurity, not human-centered health data analysis. Finally, several guidelines are provided for human-centered IoT-based health monitoring in future research.

One of the most crucial parts of the human body is the heart. When the heart's blood supply is cut off, a heart attack happens. The most frequent cause of a blockage is the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances inside the coronary arteries that provide blood to the heart (which eventually results in plaque growth). This study sought to identify which anthropometric characteristics had a high likelihood of having an impact on a person having a heart attack in order to design a program for heart attack analysis using machine learning algorithms. The researchers were able to acquire data from a variety of sources to identify the variables that may be used to create the output in order to fulfill the study's objectives. The existing heart attack analysis was reviewed by the researchers. They discovered that the researchers' algorithms were hardly noteworthy. Another ongoing study uses a variety of data mining and machine learning approaches to analyze vast volumes of patient data in an effort to predict heart attacks before they happen, ultimately helping professionals and the healthcare industry. The software for Heart Attack Prediction was created by taking into account various data from previous studies.

Heart attack is a global leading cause of death for both gender and the occurrence is not always known to us. Usually Heart Rate Calculation has traditionally been conducted using specialized hardware or device. It used most commonly in the form of pulse oximeters or Electrocardiogram devices. though these devices have higher method and they are reliable to normal user. However, these devices require users to perform their process. In this paper, we propose a system capable of estimating the heart beat rate using just a camera from a commercially available s mart phone and also using a mobile stethoscope to record heart sound for detecting the occurrence of heart attack and also some ot her heart related disease. Fuzzy Logic is used here, which is a part of Data Mining, the expert problem solution for human illness. In general, case people could not u nderstand whenever they face this problem and this is the main cause of death. Our research is about to determine this problem earlier to reduce the death rate of heart attack. The advantage of this method is that the user does not need specialized hardware and he/she can take a measurement in virtual ly any place under almost any circumstances. In addition, the measurement can be used as a tool for health coaching applications or effective telecare services aimed in enhancing the user's well being.
