Resumen
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) son frecuentes en la ciudad de Guayaquil, pues el número de personas que padecen este tipo de enfermedades incrementa cada día, especialmente los adultos mayores quienes son afectados constantemente por hipertensión arterial, las cuales con el tiempo se convierten en arritmias cardiacas. Estas arritmias son causadas por alteraciones en la presión arterial y la frecuencia cardíaca, por esto la tecnología brinda un apoyo constante a los médicos que tratan este tipo de afecciones. Sin embargo, la tecnología se centra en ayudar a los médicos dejando de lado a los pacientes, haciendo que estos sigan usando métodos tradicionales y complejos para llevar el control de su actividad cardíaca. Por esto surge la necesidad de crear un sistema para que tanto médicos y pacientes puedan llevar un control de PA y esta información ayude al médico a controlar o identificar posibles complicaciones médicas. Para esto se creó un sistema de monitoreo basados en la técnica de Fotopletismografía (PPG) usando sensores SDK. Este sensor extrae la información, y envía al dispositivo creado con dos microcontroladores (Arduino y Ethernet Shield) para que este pueda mostrarle la información al usuario, enviarla a la nube para que el médico pueda acceder a ella sin necesidad que el paciente esté en su consultorio. Este sistema tiene dos componentes, el componente de hardware siendo este el dispositivo que será manejado por el paciente y el componente de software que será la interfaz donde el médico visualizará los datos de frecuencia cardíaca. Las pruebas realizadas corroboran que la información cardíaca extraída por el sistema se acerca altamente a la información que nos daría un examen de Holter (examen tradicional para pacientes hipertensos).
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are common in the city of Guayaquil, as the number of people suffering from this type of disease increases every day, especially older adults who are constantly affected by high blood pressure which eventually become cardiac arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are causes due to alterations in blood pressure and heart rate, which is why the technology provides constant support to doctors who treat these types of conditions. However, the technology focuses on helping doctors leaving patients aside, causing them to continue using traditional and complex methods to control their cardiac activity. This is why there is a need to create a system so that both doctors and patients can keep track of BP and this information helps the doctor to control or identify possible medical complications. For this, a monitoring system based on the Photoplethysmography (PPG) technique was created using SDK sensors. This sensor extracts the information, and sends the device created with two microcontrollers (Arduino and Ethernet Shield) so that it can show the information to the user, to send it to the cloud so that the doctor can access it without the need for the patient to be in his office. This system has two components, the hardware component being this the device that will be handled by the patient and the software component that will be the interface where the doctor will display the heart rate data. The tests carried out confirm that the cardiac information extracted by the system is very close to the information that a Holter test (traditional test for hypertensive patients) would give us.
