In the recent development the Internet of Things (IoT) brings all electronics objects in to a single domain and it is easy to access everything through internet. The applications of IoT are Smart agriculture, Smart Home, Smart City, Smart health monitoring system etc. The automation of health care is one of the application which monitors the patient health status using IoT to make medical equipments more efficient by monitoring the patient’s health, in which identifies the body conditions and reduces the human error. A health care monitoring system is used to monitor patient’s body parameters for the particular disese and obtain the various values about it. The heart rate monitor is one of the in system using IoT to recognize the cardic patients condition and monitor the status in emergency situations. It monitors the heart rate of the patient with long term cardiovascular disease. Here the Arduino based microcontroller is used to communicate to the sensors such as pulse sensor and ECG Sensor. The system can analyze the signal, extract features from it, detect the normal or abnormal conditions with the help of Raspberry Pi and the results of the ECG signals is sent to the web server. It ensures the signal transmission of heart rate signal to the database through IoT. This also suggests doctors to care the patient follow-up their patient using the patient’s data stored in the database. Thus IoT brings one of the solution for cardiac patient monitoring and also reduces the complexity between patient outcome and technology.
