Abstract
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases underscores the need for efficient and user-friendly tools to monitor heart health. Traditional Holter monitors, while effective, are often bulky and inconvenient, limiting their use in real-world scenarios. This study introduces the Smart Portable Holter, a wireless device designed for real-time cardiac monitoring, enabling early detection of heart irregularities with enhanced accuracy and user convenience. The device captures continuous electrocardiogram signals and transmits them to a secure cloud platform for processing. Machine learning models, including Random Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), analyze the data to detect cardiac events. The system’s performance was evaluated using real-world datasets, emphasizing accuracy and reliability in identifying cardiac arrhythmias. The Smart Portable Holter delivers an impressive 98% accuracy in detecting cardiac events. Its compact and wireless design enhances user comfort, allowing for seamless wear throughout the day. Coupled with advanced analytics, it offers detailed, time-stamped records that empower both users and healthcare professionals. These features facilitated early diagnosis and supported personalized treatment planning for patients with varying cardiac conditions. The Smart Portable Holter represents a significant advancement in cardiac care, combining portability, real-time analytics, and high diagnostic accuracy. By empowering patients and healthcare providers with actionable insights, it fosters proactive heart health management and contributes to improved clinical outcomes.
