Cloud based Heartbeat Rate Monitoring System with Location Tracking

Abstract

Heartbeat rate reflects an individual’s physical health and the status of a person cardiovascular
health. A person with poor cardiovascular health is subjected to various heart diseases
including heart attack. Heart attack is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide and the number
one cause of death annually. People with poor cardiovascular health are required to be
monitored in order to prevent a life-threatening situation. To help on this issue, we proposed a
monitoring system through cloud servers to monitor people with poor cardiovascular health
constantly. This system is developed using a lightweight Bluetooth ECG sensor, Android
Technology, Web application as well as cloud services provided by Firebase. This system is
portable, allowing patient to carry it on a travel. The heartbeat rate monitoring system with
enhanced feature of alerting and notifying user through cloud servers. The firebase realtime
database allow data to be transferred in realtime and user can send an alert through a push
button. The proposed system allows patient to be monitored and alert users in case of any
emergencies. A location tracking is also included as an added value feature. This may help in
life threatening situations that will endanger patient’s life. In addition, cloud database is able
to store and monitor data constantly to review patient’s heart condition.
