Wearable Cardiorespiratory Monitoring Device for Heart Attack Prediction

The paper aims at developing a wearable cardio respiratory monitoring device that could monitor and display 4 parameters in real time simultaneously on a phone screen or on a computer screen. A prototype system that can evaluate heart rate, respiration rate, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) and temperature is designed. The hardware will be cost effective and of miniaturised in size that can be worn on a daily basis. Individuals who have a history of heart attack is shown to have a constant variation in parameters like heart rate, respiration rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation over a time period of 1 week or even 2 weeks. Thus the data taken from individuals are stored and analysed using a mobile application. Using this information the chances of heart attack can be predicted and individuals can be warned beforehand.
