General public healthcare is very important issue given the exponential rise in growth of population and
medical expenses these days. People living far off city and away from good medical help often suffer due to lack of
medical resources at their . It is now necessary that an effective health monitoring system, which can detect deterioration
of health conditions in time helps in acting quickly by taking necessary steps according to the obtained data. This paper
has proposed a new method for ECG monitoring based on light weight MQTT keeping Internet-of-Things (IoT) in mind.
ECG data is gathered using a ECG monitoring sensor (AD8232) by Texas Instruments and are transmitted through
ADS1115 16-bit ADC interfaced with Raspberry Pi using I2C protocol. The digital ECG sensor data received from ADC
is published to a CloudMQTT broker using MQTT mosquitto client using IEEE 802.11 (WLAN) in-buit in Raspberry Pi
3. MQTT subscribe is used to visualize the ECG using a GUI at any remote healthcare center, hospital or treating
doctor.
