Resumen

The increasing demand for continuous cardiovascular monitoring has accelerated the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled mobile health solutions capable of delivering accessible and timely physiological information. However, many IoT healthcare systems focus primarily on sensor development, while the mobile interaction layer responsible for data interpretation, synchronization, and user notification receives comparatively limited attention. This study presents an IoT-enabled cross-platform mobile health framework for real-time cardiac monitoring, visualization, and alerting, implemented as the CardioSense application. The proposed framework integrates a Flutter-based mobile interface with a Firebase cloud back-end to support user authentication, real-time data synchronization, historical trend analysis, and automated notifications from a companion IoT sensing device. The application architecture consists of four functional modules: realtime status monitoring, historical records, alert management, and user profile services. A scenario-based functional evaluation was conducted through live demonstration sessions involving adult volunteers, covering six essential operations, including registration, authentication, real-time visualization, alert generation, historical tracking, and email notification. All tested functions were successfully completed without execution errors. During the evaluation period, the application correctly displayed device-generated physiological states, including normal and arrhythmia classifications, and processed 28 recorded measurements across a seven-day demonstration window. The proposed framework demonstrates the feasibility of combining cross-platform mobile development and cloud-based IoT connectivity for exploratory cardiovascular self-monitoring applications. Further studies involving usability assessment, security evaluation, and clinical validation are required before healthcare deployment.
