Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a community of smart things that is a combination of sensors with network technology,
cloud computing, and many data concepts. Presently, the IoT is applied in many fields, and one of the most critical issues is health
monitoring systems since statistical analyses have shown that a human lose their life every minute across the globe. In Iraq, many
lives are affected by heart attacks every day, because patients do not receive proper help at the right time. The electrocardiogram
(ECG) signal is an important parameter for monitoring heart activity. This article focuses on the recruitment of IoT technology in the
field of health applications and its main objective is to provide an ECG diagnostic system using Thingspeak IoT platform capability
analysis and a reliable healthcare analytic system for patients that can be used by healthcare professionals for patient monitoring. The
monitoring system is based on analysis and comparison of ECG signals using Principal Component Analysis (PCA).The proposed
system collects and sends ECG signals from patients to the Thingspeak IoT platform for PCA. The system can classify the heart
malady and gives people with unstable health a chance to be treated by healthcare professionals.

Keywords: ECG, IoT, Cloud Service, Thingspeak, Principal Component Analysis.

7. CONCLUSIONS
A Thingspeak cloud computing ECG diagnostic
system is proposed based on an analytic MATLAB
classification program. The analytic program is based on a
PCA algorithm running on the Thingspeak cloud IoT
platform. The proposed system provides a reliable
healthcare monitoring system that can enable healthcare
professionals to monitor their patients remotely through
the cloud. All experimental set up and observations
showed that the system was an effective solution for
monitoring a patient’s heart health. The doctor can access
the data through the Thingspeak IoT cloud and run the
analytic MATLAB program to classify the ECG signal

this system allows doctors to monitor and improve the
health of their patients. Notably this system allows a
doctor to monitor more than one patient through the
cloud.
