Abstract

Nowadays, in this age of innovation, human life is getting easier as new gadgets and devices are coming out with the capability complementing their working lives. There are gadgets that can monitor their health parameters constantly irrespective of time or location. The majority of deaths in the world happen due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Due to the increase in population, people ignore their health most of the time because of workload. For example, atrial fibrillation is one of the most common diseases and can be deadliest at times. In atrial fibrillation, the tempo or the time between each heartbeat will vary. This system is capable of generating medical reports without any intervention of doctors, and also, patients get an added advantage of having the option to have personal medical feedback from an experienced doctor. In this age, the cost of basic health monitoring devices has decreased the communication gap between the doctors and patients, so our project intends to reduce the cost of monitoring patients regardless of location. So, in this work, web page designing techniques and Python programming are implemented together to make things platform-independent to monitor the patient.
