Abstract

In today’s fast-paced world where patients may need to be remotely monitored while they are away or out of hospitals, there is a need for mobile applications that can gather the biometric and biomedical signals from any number of devices and sensors, collecting biometric or biomedical data from a patient. This work presents the improvement of a circulatory strain and heartbeat anomaly detection and notice apparatus as an Android application that permits quick discovery of any variations from the norm in a patient's fundamental dependent on the Pan-Tompkins algorithm and reports it to the pertinent emergency clinic or clinical staff. The blood ECG information can be gotten from the health tracker sensors by means of a Bluetooth association and the patient can enter their Blood pressure esteems. In this case, the information gathered from a set of reproduced data, which is identified with a triggering notice from Firebase Cloud function. This notification is further acknowledged by the enrolled specialist (or any clinical faculty or health sector laborer having a similar application). The system's security part is represented by the fine-grained consent procedure which directs that solitary significant authorizations are required for the best possible working of the application which ought to be given to the application. An encryption method using the Blowfish algorithm is included as a feature of the developed mobile Android application to provide secure data transfer of the patient’s vital signals.
