Abstract
The emergence of wearable sensor mobiletechnologies can have a great change to the conventionalhealthcare systems improving the quality of life for patients withCoronary Artery Disease (CAD) or heart disease. Our main aimis to build a simple yet accurate mobile application that iscapable of real-time monitoring of patients with CAD which is amajor cause of death worldwide. Most available mobilehealthcare systems focus on the data acquisition part with littleattention paid to facilitating real-time. In this work, we build areal-time monitoring application that continuously monitorsCAD patients and raises an alarm whenever an emergencyoccurs. The proposed system is of a light weight, low price andvery reliable in the detection of heart problems based onreasoning and computational algorithms. To prove theeffectiveness of the proposed system, we conducted twoextensive experiments for real and simulated scenarios. Ourresults show that the proposed monitoring system provides a100% detection rate.
