Our research aim is to study the relationship between temperature and the increasing rate of heart disease, where we used Globe data and statistics of heart patients from the Ministry of Health, by converting the data into tables and graphs. we noticed that July has the highest rate of heart disease, the increasing rate was caused by the increase of temperature where it reached 38.96°C causing an Isolated Arrhythmias. these data prove the relationship between temperature and heart disease. We noticed that we need more data to verify the validity of our results. So, we suggested designing an application that uses smart watches to fetch the data we need related to environmental temperature and heart health. In the end, we recommend a similar study that requires 10-year data on environmental temperature and heart disease.
