Edge-Based Intelligent Wearable IoT System for Real-Time Cardiac Anomaly Detection Using Machine

Abstract Abstract
Wearable IoT devices have fundamentally changed how physiological data is gathered and interpreted in modern healthcare settings. Most current monitoring architectures depend on centralized cloud infrastructure to process sensor data, introducing transmission latency, bandwidth consumption, and exposure of sensitive patient information to external networks. This paper presents an edge-based intelligent framework that relocates the computational workload from the cloud to a local processing node-such as a smartphone or dedicated gateway-positioned closer to the patient. Sensor streams capturing heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and body temperature are processed and analysed in real time using three machine learning classifiers: Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Regression. Evaluation was conducted on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, a widely accepted PhysioNet benchmark containing over 100,000 annotated heartbeats from 48 recordings. Among the models tested, Random Forest achieved the strongest balance of classification accuracy (94%) and inference speed (120 ms), satisfying the sub-200 ms real-time threshold required for clinical alert systems. These findings support the argument that edge-centric architectures offer a practical and scalable path for continuous patient monitoring with meaningful improvements in response time and data privacy.
