Design of a Mobile Architecture for Cardiac Anomaly Identification
Abstract
Abnormal changes in the heart impulses can mean illnesses that require frequent monitoring. Traditional metering solutions present recognized accuracy, however they become expensive when patients decide to be frequently examined. This paper presents an analysis of some low-cost mobile technologies for heart rate monitoring, such as the Mi Band 2 bracelet and Instant Heart Rate applications, 4Free Blood Pressure and iCare Health Monitor. The metrics analyzed were: practicality, measurement environment, data manipulation, platform, accuracy and cost. In terms of accuracy, the Mi Band 2 bracelet was close to 92%. Based on this result, this paper proposes a distributed system capable of identifying cardiac anomalies with the Mi Band 2 bracelet.
