Smart Device Based ECG Monitoring System

The cardiovascular disease does harms to person’s health and most of them are concerned with arrhythmia which is the leading cause of death. Unfortunately, the symptoms vary and the most common reason for critical delays in medical treatment is lack of early warning and patient unawareness. It is possible to detect the onset of a heart attack and eliminate patient error. This paper presents a portable wireless device for ECG measurements. ECG monitoring system embeds the data acquisition of signal of the patient. In this work, a system is designed for acquiring and monitoring ECG signal. The signal is processed using ARM microprocessor and transmitted to the receiver such as Personal computer/Mobile/Tab through Wi-Fi module. It is a wearable battery equipped device which allows the user to operate effortlessly. It also includes the Beeper/Audio codec to signal or alert the user when abnormal ECG is sensed. Smart application analyses the data and displays heart rate. The goal is to provide heart rate irregular detection so that the patient will be given medical attention as early as possible.
