Abstract: This research introduces a Smart Watch equipped with advanced physiological monitoring capabilities for the early detection of heart attacks and automatic initiation of emergency assistance. Cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart attacks, are a leading cause of global mortality. Rapid response during a heart attack significantly improves patient outcomes, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions. The proposed Smart Watch integrates a combination of sensors, including ECG (Electrocardiogram) and PPG (Photoplethysmography), to continuously monitor the user's heart rate, rhythm, and other relevant physiological parameters. Machine learning (Time Series Analysis algorithm) is employed to analyse the collected data in real-time, identifying patterns indicative of a potential heart attack.Upon detecting abnormal cardiac activity, the Smart Watch triggers an immediate response by connecting to a dedicated mobile application. The application utilizes built-in communication features to establish a connection with emergency services, providing vital information about the user's condition, location, and medical history. Simultaneously, the Smart Watch alerts predefined emergency contacts, ensuring a swift response from friends or family members.
