<![CDATA[Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally, resulting in approximately 17.9 million deaths each year (WHO, 2017), with estimates projecting a rise to 23.3 million deaths by 2030 (Pusdatin Kemenkes RI, 2014). Early detection of heart disease plays a crucial role in CVD prevention, with heart rate (bpm) being a key indicator to assess heart function, ranging from 60 to 100 beats per minute. To address the need for early detection, a practical heart rate monitoring device utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Medical Devices (SMDs) was developed. This research aimed to provide training on IoT-based heart rate detection to high school students in Trenggalek. The training encompassed lectures and hands-on practice, successfully enhancing participants' knowledge of IoT, as demonstrated by improved test scores. Moreover, the training resulted in a prototype of an IoT-based heart rate monitoring system that utilizes Arduino and a heart rate sensor. Post-training evaluations showed the majority of participants were satisfied with the quality of materials and organization, indicating the positive impact of this engagement on the partners. The results support the potential of this IoT training to equip high school students with essential skills, fostering self-reliance in medical device production and reducing dependence on imports in the face of ASEAN Economic Community challenges. Ultimately, this initiative contributes to building a competent healthcare workforce in Indonesia.]]>
