To overcome these delays, engineers are working on developing an IoT enabled heart attack detection system and heart rate monitor that will help alert individuals to seek out medical attention before an attack. The device is wearable and will continuously monitor the individual’s electrocardiogram (electrical activity of the heart) and notify them if there are elevated levels that would lead to myocardial infarction. The device will tell the user the exact location of the event, and it will be connected to the cloud to alert others via Wi-Fi.
Google reports that there are expected to be more than 64 billion IoT devices worldwide by 2025.
A lot of IoT (Internet of Things) based solutions have been developed and deployed in various industries. And to a good note, the healthcare industry has also been under this magnificent transformation. IoT (Internet of Things) based healthcare solutions can now solve the problem for patients suffering from heart diseases. It provides healthcare service based on the patients’ physical status without taking their feelings into consideration.
Recently, the IoT has adopted the healthcare system to collect ECG signals for heart disease diagnosis. The noises which are collected from ECG signals make diagnosis imprecise. However, there have been improvements made where the knowledge base has been created which helps process real ECG signals.
Internet of Things, we can easily say, is a revolution in making; and it’s going to be one revolution that we all reckon by.
It’s a concept fast gaining popularity amongst people from not just the technologically inclined people, but just about everyone.
Similarly, our cities are also being aimed at having a better technologically equipped transportation system, complete with inter-connected sensors to help streamline the traffic.
Internet of things development is also expected to take us towards a future that sees a better monitored and controlled lighting, pollution, power plants, and so on.
Healthcare is looking for a future that allows for an at-home health monitoring that is as good as a clinical health monitoring through connected sensors, a vastly better communication, and even well-connected wearables.
We are about to embrace a future where the healthcare landscape is an ever-improving one, where your doctor will get your blood pressure update without having to be present near you, or your sleep pattern could be relayed back to and tracked by your physician in real-time, or your EEG and ECG devices, your blood glucose and other vital sign checking devices would be connected and well-monitored over the Internet.
