IoT-Based Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease with Ankle Brachial Index Measurement for Right and Left Body Simultaneously

Early detection of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is needed to reduce the risk of death. Early detection of cardiovascular disease can be done using various methods, one of which is the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) method. This method compares blood pressure between systoles on the hands and feet simultaneously. In this study, the ABI measuring instrument was made that could simultaneously measure the right and left parts of the body, a development from previous research that could only take measurements on one side of the body. With simultaneous measurements, the results will be more accurate and effective. The validation results of this tool, when compared with the sphygmomanometer, have an accuracy of 96.6%. Besides, patients and doctors can store and access examination history data through IoT platform.
