M4CVD: Mobile Machine Learning Model for Monitoring Cardiovascular Disease

In this paper we present M4CVD: Mobile Machine Learning Model for Monitoring Cardiovascular Disease, a system designed specifically for mobile devices that facilitates monitoring of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The system uses wearable sensors to collect observable trends of vital signs contextualized with data from clinical databases. Instead of transferring the raw data directly to the health care professionals, the system performs analysis on the local device by feeding the hybrid of collected data to a support vector machine (SVM) to monitor features extracted from clinical databases and wearable sensors to classify a patient as continued risk or no longer at risk for CVD. As a work in progress we evaluate a proof-of-concept M4CVD using a synthetic clinical database of 200 patients. The results of our experiment show the system was successful in classifying a patient's CVD risk with an accuracy of 90.5%. (c) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
