Abstract

With the advent and rapid deployment of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), powerful smartphones, and wearable sensor devices (e.g., smartwatch), we are entering into the era of automated, remote, on-demand mobile healthcare services. According to the WHO, cardiovascular disease is the modern-day disease. However, prognosis rate of cardiac disease patients can be potentially made high with early detection and diagnosis. In this book chapter, we describe automated cardiac health monitoring system using smartphone and wearable sensors. The main contribution of such mobile applications and systems is to form a connected universe with biomedical sensors, patients, physicians, clinics, hospitals, and other medical service providers and to exploit robust analytics to infer and actuate the appropriate information and formative actions. The powerful anomaly analytics exploit AI, signal processing, and deep learning mechanisms that enable predictive decision-making and facilitate preventive cardiac health screening. The main emphasis is to develop and deploy smart, computationally efficient, rather than human-in-loop, user-friendly, data-driven cardiac healthcare solutions, where patients and healthcare service providers are seamlessly connected. In this book chapter, we discuss about important cardiovascular signals, namely, electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and heart sound or phonocardiogram (PCG), and describe their role in the process of developing a mobile-based cardiac care solution. These cardiac marker signals constitute an intelligent and robust feature space for detection of different cardiac abnormalities and diseases like coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmia, and others. These sensor signals can be captured by affordable wearable sensors. In order to develop such mobile applications and systems, we need to address different challenges like noisy signal removal and data privacy protection along with providing robust analytics engine.
