An Intelligent Health Surveillance System: Predictive Modeling of Cardiovascular Parameters through Machine Learning Algorithms Using LoRa Communication and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

Abstract

In several nations, the majority of heart attacks lead to fatality prior to patients receiving any kind of medical intervention. The traditional healthcare system is mostly passive, requiring patients to initiate contact with healthcare services independently. People often do not request the treatment if they are unconscious during a heart disease episode. The use of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) methods offers significant advantages in addressing the issue of caring for patients with cardiac problems. These techniques may transform service delivery into ubiquitous and activate healthcare services. Low-cost remote monitoring systems are essential to implementing a widespread healthcare service. In this article, we proposed a cost-effective Personal Health Care Device(PHCD) based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The PHCD transmits user somatic signals to data acquisition devices using a LoRa (Long-range and low-power) wireless communication network. The received data is uploaded to the cloud using IoT platforms like Adafruit IO. Further, various Machine learning (ML) algorithms, Naïve Bayes, ANN, CNN, and LSTM, were applied to collected data to predict heart rate and SpO2 behavior. The performance results of different forecast models were compared to identify precise modeling and reliable forecasts to prevent emergency cardiovascular conditions.
