Abstract:
Chronic heart disease (CHD) is a widespread and persistent health challenge that demands immediate attention. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are essential for effective treatment and management of this condition. To overcome this difficulty, we created a state-of-the-art IoT-Based Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring System that provides real-time blood pressure readings, systolic, diastolic, and pulse rates at predefined intervals. This unique technology comes with a module that forecasts CHD's early warning score. Various machine learning algorithms employed comprise Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), random forest, decision tree, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Using Naïve Bayes, the proposed model has achieved an impressive 99.44% accuracy in predicting blood pressure, a vital aspect of real-time intensive care for CHD. This IoT-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (IABPM) system will provide some advancement in the field of healthcare. The system overcomes the limitations of earlier BP monitoring devices, significantly reduces healthcare costs, and efficiently detects irregularities in chronic heart diseases. By implementing this system, we can take a significant step forward in improving patient outcomes and reducing the global burden of CHD. The system's advanced features provide an accurate and reliable diagnosis that is essential for treating and managing CHD. Overall, this IoT-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring system is an important tool for the early identification and treatment of CHD in the field of healthcare.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
