Smart Cardiac Telemetry Monitor

What problem are you going to solve?

In cardiology wards, patients wear a ECG to monitor vital signs.

These devices are complex, delicate and very expensive.

Using AWS IoT EduKit I would like to create a cheaper solution that can also be used at home.

What are you going to build to solve this problem? How is it different from existing solutions? Why is it useful?

The AWS IoT EduKit will be the control unit of my system, it can be used both at home and in the hospital. As a heart monitor I will use open source ECGs (SparkFun AD8232) and some smartwatches (apple watch).

How does your solution work? What are the main features? Please specify how you will use the Core2 for AWS IoT EduKit in your solution.

The AWS IoT EduKit will connect to cardiac monitors via BLE to transmit data. The control unit will encrypt the collected data and send it to AWS, so that the doctor can view it from his device. Using AWS SNS if the patient has an abnormal heartbeat the doctor will be notified. I will build an Apple Watch app to send ECG via BLE (using HealthKit API).

List the hardware and software you will use to build this.

For control unit:

• Alexa (for skill)
• AWS IoT EduKit

For heart monitor type A:

• Sparkfun AD8232
• ESP32

For heart monitor type B:

• Apple Watch (or alternatives)
