Abstract: Detection of abnormal cardiac events during clinical examination is a matter of chances, as such events may not happen at that precise moment. We therefore propose the implementation and evaluation of a mobile based system that allows a real-time detection of cardiovascular problems related to heart-rate variability. Our approach is to integrate an Internet of Things eHealth kit based on Arduino and validated algorithms for heart rate variability to build a low-cost, reliable and scalable solution. 12 healthy users have evaluated the system in different scenarios to assess the best performing algorithm and the best windowing interval. Finally, a mobile system based on an Android application which integrated the Pan and Tompkins algorithm with a 20 seconds windowing and a module to retrieve real-time electrocardiography through a Bluetooth interface was implemented and assessed.
