Hence, early detection is critical for effective intervention. This study aims to develop a deep learning framework for predicting CVD using data from smartwatches, which offer non-invasive and real-time health monitoring capabilities. The research employs two deep learning techniques: convolutional neural networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate data were collected from 20 volunteers using local smartwatches supplemented with a publicly available dataset from Kaggle. Data pre-processing involved denoising ECG signals and normalizing heart rate readings to ensure accuracy. The models were evaluated using precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy metrics, achieving over 99 percent across all measures. While both models demonstrated high predictive power, the LSTM model outperformed CNN in computational efficiency, with 31 minutes to complete model training compared to CNN, which took 87 minutes. The study highlights the potential for wearable devices for real-time CVD monitoring and early diagnosis. Future work will explore including additional data sources and advanced modeling involving ensemble techniques. specialized Mohd Syafiq Asyraf Bin Suhaimi Centre for Mathematical Sciences Thesis (Master of Science) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al Sultan Abdullah– 2025 Includes bibliographical references Centre for Mathematical Sciences Dissertations Universities and colleges Dissertations Theses Dissertations THE0010204 (Local) UMPSA 260101 20260101120155.0 eng
