With the proliferation of IoT technology, it is anticipated that healthcare services, particularly for the elderly persons, will become a major thrust area of research in the coming days. Aim of this work is to design a fit-band containing multiple sensors to provide remote healthcare services for the elderly persons. An application has been designed to capture health data from the fit-band, pre-process the data and then send them to cloud for further analysis.

Due to this capability, machine learning techniques are widely used in medical applications, especially where large-scale genomic and proteomic data are used. Cancer classification based on bio-molecular profiling data is a very important topic for medical applications since it improves the diagnostic accuracy of cancer and enables a successful culmination of cancer treatments.

Background And Objectives: Detection of the R-peak pertaining to the QRS complex of an ECG signal plays an important role for the diagnosis of a patient's heart condition. To accurately identify the QRS locations from the acquired raw ECG signals, we need to handle a number of challenges, which include noise, baseline wander, varying peak amplitudes, and signal abnormality. This research aims to address these challenges by developing an efficient lightweight algorithm for QRS (i.
