• Abstract:

  Heart disease has been a major problem in Brazil and in the world due to its high mortality rate, being one of the main causes of unexpected deaths. Based on these observations, this article proposes the development project of a low-cost, high-precision cardiac monitoring system based on the Internet of Things for remotely monitoring the cardiac activity of patients. With the aid of software, the possibility of acquiring the complete signal of cardiac activity was identified with an ECG module and a microcontroller. In addition, to accommodate the circuit, a 3D modeling of the prototype of a "case" was designed. Thinking about the development of an application interface to display the acquired data, we opted for the use of free software that transfers the data to the cloud. At the end of the structuring of the project and the tests with virtual prototyping, it was concluded that the construction of an electrocardiograph integrated with the concepts of Internet of Things for the availability of data at a distance proved to be feasible due to its low budget for production and acquisition for the users.
