Development of a System for Monitoring the Functional Parameters of the Heart Using a Smartphone

Abstract

The detection, diagnosis and treatment of many human diseases based on changes in heart rate have a long history. Even today, heart rate measurement and continuous monitoring is becoming important not only for patients with various heart diseases, but also for healthy people. That's why mobile apps, web apps, and smart watches that detect heart rate are being widely produced around the world. They are being developed day by day to be more and more comfortable, light, cheap and even stylish. They also have many additional features, such as counting heart rate, measuring body temperature and blood oxygen saturation, calculating calories burned, measuring the distance traveled, displaying the location, saving data and sending it to the desired device (phone, tablet, computer, server etc.) supports capabilities such as transmission and even calling an ambulance if necessary. In addition, monitoring systems with different capabilities are being developed for those involved in sports activities of various directions, and their capabilities are being improved more and more.

It should be noted that many developed human heart monitoring systems in the telecommunications market are primarily intended for business purposes. Also, the level of accuracy of the monitoring systems is limited due to the fact that the monitoring systems are focused on the low cost of detecting, calculating and monitoring the received signals.
