Detection of abnormal cardiac events during clinical examination is a matter of chances, as such events may not happen at that precise moment. We therefore propose the implementation and evaluation of a mobile based system that allows a real-time detection of cardiovascular problems related to heart-rate variability. Our approach is to integrate an Internet of Things eHealth kit based on Arduino and validated algorithms for heart rate variability to build a low-cost, reliable and scalable solution. 12 healthy users have evaluated the system in different scenarios to assess the best performing algorithm and the best windowing interval.

Abstract

Detection of abnormal cardiac events during clinical examination is a matter of chances, as such events may not happen at that precise moment. We therefore propose the implementation and evaluation of a mobile based system that allows a real-time detection of cardiovascular problems related to heart-rate variability. Our approach is to integrate an Internet of Things eHealth kit based on Arduino and validated algorithms for heart rate variability to build a low-cost, reliable and scalable solution. 12 healthy users have evaluated the system in different scenarios to assess the best performing algorithm and the best windowing interval. Finally, a mobile system based on an Android application which integrated the Pan and Tompkins algorithm with a 20 seconds windowing and a module to retrieve real-time electrocardiography through a Bluetooth interface was implemented and assessed.
