The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, particularly Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), has become a significant public health challenge in Malaysia, with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) being the leading cause of death. This research explores the integration of ubiquitous computing and medical IoT devices in healthcare to enhance the monitoring, early detection, and management of cardiovascular diseases. By leveraging technologies such as AI, 5G, blockchain, and AR/VR, the study examines how continuous, real-time monitoring can be achieved, potentially transforming traditional healthcare systems that are limited to clinical settings. The research also discusses the limitations of these technologies, including privacy concerns, battery life, and accuracy, while proposing recommendations to overcome these challenges. The study aims to contribute to the development of a more efficient, patient-centred healthcare system that not only improves patient outcomes but also supports Malaysia's economic growth by fostering innovation in the healthcare sector.
