I. INTRODUCTION
The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has transformed several industries, including healthcare.Health monitoring systems based on IoT have emerged as a viable solution for efficient and tailored patient care.Sensors, data connectivity, and machine learning algorithms are used in these systems to continually monitor patients' vital signs and discover anomalies in real time [1,2].These systems can provide accurate predictions and assist healthcare workers in giving appropriate interventions by employing machine learning techniques such as support vector machines (SVMs) [3,4].The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the use of IoT-based health monitoring systems, machine learning, anomaly detection, and SVMs in enhancing patient care and developing healthcare technology.
The use of IoT in health monitoring has received a lot of interest in recent years [5,6].Wearable sensors and connected medical equipment, for example, offer continuous monitoring of patients' vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and ECG data.These gadgets collect real-time data that can be wirelessly communicated to healthcare personnel, allowing for remote monitoring and prompt intervention [1,7].The incorporation of IoT technology into health monitoring systems enhances patient care by allowing for the early detection of health conditions, lowering hospital readmissions, and increasing patient engagement in their own healthcare [2].
In healthcare, machine learning has emerged as a strong tool for evaluating complicated and large-scale datasets.Machine learning algorithms can learn patterns, generate predictions, and aid in clinical decision-making by being trained on past patient data [8,9].Machine learning algorithms can examine sensor data in the context of health monitoring systems to discover abnormal patterns and forecast patient health outcomes.Algorithms for classification, regression, and grouping offer individualized patient care and illness management [2,10].
Anomaly detection is critical in health monitoring systems because it allows for the discovery of anomalous patterns or deviations from expected patient health status [2,11].Anomalies might suggest prospective health risks or urgent occurrences that must be addressed immediately.Machine learning techniques, such as SVMs, are commonly employed in health monitoring for anomaly detection.These algorithms learn from typical patterns and identify new observations as normal or abnormal based on how they differ from the taught patterns.Techniques for detecting anomalies increase patient safety, allow for early intervention, and improve overall healthcare outcomes [12][13][14].
SVM is a well-known machine learning technique for classification and regression.SVMs handle high-dimensional data well and can capture complex correlations between input variables.SVMs have been used successfully in healthcare applications for a variety of tasks such as disease diagnosis, risk prediction, and anomaly identification [15,16].SVMs seek the best hyperplane for separating distinct classes or predicting continuous values.SVMs can handle both linearly and nonlinearly separable data with appropriate kernel functions, making them useful for assessing a wide range of health monitoring datasets [10,17].
Integration of IoT, machine learning, anomaly detection, and SVMs in health monitoring systems improves patient care dramatically.Real-time vital sign monitoring enables early detection of health concerns and prompt medical intervention.By assessing individual patient data and making customised recommendations, machine learning algorithms offer individualized patient care.Anomaly detection tools help healthcare practitioners recognize crucial events and take relevant steps as soon as possible.The combination of these technologies improves patient outcomes, lowers healthcare costs, and improves overall care quality [2,8].
This study is the first to combine IoT technology and powerful machine learning in healthcare.To provide continuous patient health assessment, our Intelligent Health Monitoring System uses real-time data from temperature, blood pressure, and ECG sensors.The proactive strategy of the system aids in early anomaly detection and appropriate intervention.Our research has the potential to change healthcare practices by seamlessly combining IoT devices and predictive analytics.This novel approach has the potential to improve patient care outcomes, improve medical decision-making, and build a more connected and responsive healthcare ecosystem.

II. METHODOLOGY
The main elements of the intelligent health monitoring system are shown in a block diagram, as in Fig 1 , in the proposed study, to highlight their main functions.The patient's health is continually monitored by a number of sensors, including an ECG sensor, blood pressure sensor, and temperature sensor.These sensors gather live information about the patient's vital signs and send it to an Arduino microcontroller so it may be processed further.The Arduino microcontroller serves as an interface for processing and communicating data.It conducts preliminary processing after receiving the sensor data.The display device and the RFID reader are the two main recipients of the processed data after that.Healthcare personnel may monitor the patient's health state in real-time thanks to the display unit, which graphically displays the patient's vital signs.The RFID reader also makes it easier for the system and the clinician to communicate.This makes it possible for the doctor to get updates on the patient's health from a distance and, if required, to act quickly.
The sensor readings are kept in the cloud to enable data accessibility and scalability.The data is sent by the system to a cloud-based storage platform via Wi-Fi connection.The flexibility to accept massive amounts of data and remote access by authorized healthcare personnel are only two benefits of data storage in the cloud.The technology offers real-time monitoring of the patient's health state and promotes long-term data analysis by using cloud storage.The patient's health is then evaluated using a variety of machine learning techniques once the sensor data has been saved.In this study, machine learning methods such decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, and random forests are often used.To develop models that can forecast and spot trends or abnormalities in the patient's health data, these algorithms are trained using past sensor data.Healthcare providers may make wise selections and administer suitable medical therapies thanks to the analysis findings' insightful information about the patient's health situation.

III. MACHINE LEARNING MODEL USED IN THIS RESEARCH
Machine learning models are essential in the development of intelligent health monitoring systems because they allow for the analysis and interpretation of sensor data.Multiple machine learning algorithms, including multiple linear regression, the random forest algorithm, and the support vector machine (SVM), were used in this study.Each of these models has its own set of strengths and capabilities for analyzing data and forecasting a patient's health status as shown in Fig 2.

Linear Regression
Statistically, linear regression can be used to show that independent variables and dependent variables have a linear relationship.Intelligent health monitoring systems can benefit from examining the relationship between sensor readings and a patient's health improvement or decrease.By applying a linear equation to the data, the model determines the impact of each sensor reading on the patient's health.

Fig 1. Architecture of the Proposed Research
The independent variable's coefficients are computed under the assumption that the dependent variable and independent variables are connected linearly.These coefficients demonstrate which sensor readings most significantly affect a patient's health.The algorithm may also predict the patient's health status based on recent sensor data, enabling the early detection of health issues.

Random Forest Algorithm
The random forest method is an ensemble learning technique that combines different decision trees to generate predictions.It performs admirably for problems involving classification and regression.The intelligent health monitoring system's sensor data can be evaluated using the random forest method, which can then be used to classify the patient's health status as having improved or declined based on historical trends.A random forest-a collection of decision trees-is trained using a randomly selected portion of the data.During the training phase, each tree makes a different prediction, and the aggregated predictions of all the trees produce the final prediction.The ensemble technique improves the generalization abilities of the model and decreases overfitting.Processing high-dimensional data, robustness against noise and outliers, and feature value estimation are only a few advantages of the random forest technique.By collecting intricate relationships between sensor readings and patient health status, it can predict outcomes with accuracy.The application can also identify critical components or sensors that have a substantial impact on a patient's health, providing medical professionals with useful information.
Support Vector Machine (SVM) Support vector machines (SVMs), which are robust machine learning models, are used to solve classification and regression problems.They look for the best hyperplane to forecast continuous values or categorize data into distinct groups.In the context of intelligent health monitoring systems, SVMs may classify patient health status based on sensor data and identify departures from a healthy range.In order to reduce the chance of misclassification, they operate by mapping data into a higher-dimensional feature space and determining the hyperplane with the highest margin.Data that can be split into linear and nonlinear categories using kernel functions can be handled by SVMs.They can handle high-dimensional data and are useful when dealing with small or unbalanced datasets.Additionally, they are resistant to overfitting.Based on sensor inputs, SVMs effectively categorize patient health state and offer decision boundaries so that medical personnel can recognize important health occurrences.

Workflow of the Proposed Machine Learning Approach
Fig 3 depicts the workflow of the proposed system and the relationships between its various components.Several patient monitoring and heart disease-related datasets are included in the system.The dataset used for this inquiry has 922 unique patient records in total.The remaining records are for individuals with heart illness, while the remaining 680 records are for healthy persons' heart rates.The dataset is required for the system's machine learning algorithms to learn.In order to successfully estimate and analyze the patient's health status, the models can uncover patterns and linkages in data that is already available.The dataset can be used to design and test machine learning models to ensure that they are applicable to real-world challenges.

Fig 3. Workflow of the Proposed System
The suggested method employs both real-time sensor data and past patient data to feed machine learning models.The patient's health status may be continuously monitored thanks to these real-time data.The sensors record vital data for evaluating the patient's health, including ECG, temperature, and blood pressure readings.The system's machine learning models are made to categorize sensor signals as either normal or abnormal, which can be an indication of possible health problems.The models are programmed to provide a value of zero, indicating that the patient's health is stable, if the readings are within the usual range.The models are trained to provide a value of one, signalling an abnormal situation that may need additional attention or medical intervention, if the sensor readings depart from the expected range.

Result and Discussion
Fig 4 depicts a fully accomplished Internet of Things system built for comprehensive patient health monitoring.To assess the system's efficacy, a varied sample of 20 users participated in rigorous testing.The resulting data was captured and is shown in Table 1 at a specific point in time.This section includes a sample dataset for these participants as well as an indepth discussion of the parameters recorded in Table 1.14 We use a variety of machine learning models for training, using both the gathered dataset and live sensor readings.These models show improved and more accurate predictive abilities.Each model produces predictions for health responses when applied to the sample data shown in Table 1, providing insightful information about various health states.

Linear Regression
MATLAB software is used to train the dataset using linear regression.Sensor readings are introduced as input variables into this procedure, and the corresponding health status is defined as the output variable, represented by binary labels: 0 for normal conditions and 1 for abnormal situations.This supervised learning method aims to develop a regression equation that captures the association between the input sensor data and the health state.Here T represent the temperature in Celsius, BP is the blood pressure and ECG is the reading from the ECG sensor.The results of the linear regression model are shown in Table 2, along with each participant's anticipated health status.Health states are represented by values between 0 and 1, with zero decimal places.For instance, healthy states are represented by numbers like 0.4 and 0.1, whereas an abnormal state is represented by a value of 1.The model impressively achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 92%, highlighting its strong predictive skills.Fig 5 depicts the performance of the linear regression model visually.The plot depicts the relationship between the model's predictions and the observed data.This alignment demonstrates the model's precision and ability to approximate real-world data trends.This alignment is critical for creating trust in the model's predictions and bolstering its dependability for healthcare decision-making.

Random Forest
Similarly, in the second part of our research, we used the random forest method to forecast health responses.The algorithm works by using sensor readings as input variables and the health status (0 for normal and 1 for abnormal) as the target variable.This supervised learning technique creates a decision tree-like structure, allowing for the classification of health conditions based on specific sensor input patterns.The predicted outcome of this machine learning model, as shown in Table 3, depicts each participant's expected health condition using the Decision Tree model.The decision tree algorithm predicts the responses at 94.5% accuracy.

Support Vector Machine
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used and trained to predict health reactions in a similar manner.It is pretty impressive that the SVM model was able to obtain an astounding 96.45% accuracy rate.IV.CONCLUSION In conclusion, our research shows that the combination of IoT with sophisticated machine learning techniques will result in a significant development in healthcare technology.We have created an Intelligent Health Monitoring System that improves patient care and preventive health management by utilizing real-time sensor data from temperature, blood pressure, and ECG sensors.The SVM model demonstrated remarkable predictive performance, scoring 94% for specificity, 95% for the F1 score, 92% for recall, and 94% for overall accuracy after thorough review.This not only highlights the efficiency of SVM but also supports the integration of modern machine learning techniques and data from the Internet of Things in the healthcare industry.Our research demonstrates the potential to transform healthcare systems by seamlessly integrating IoT devices into medical practices, enabling medical practitioners to provide prompt interventions and individualized treatment.This study presents a novel route toward better patient outcomes and a connected, responsive healthcare ecosystem ready to take advantage of IoT and machine learning potential.
