Abstract


Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, this study aims to develop a mobile application utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor patients’ heart rate. The study employed a quantitative approach and a pre-experimental design. The experiment was conducted according to the research plan and involved 20 patients. The Scrum methodology was used for the development of the mobile application. The results reveal a significant improvement in patient and family satisfaction after using the IoT-enabled mobile application. In addition, the average measurement time has decreased to 6.025 minutes, which represents a significant difference compared to the traditional method. The number of measurements has increased from seven to 14 per week, averaging two regular daily measurements. The measurement device has alleviated the concerns of family members who are taking care of loved ones with cardiovascular disease. This tool gives users greater peace of mind, enabling them to take accurate and reliable measurements 24/7.
