Portable ECG with Monitoring Parameters

The paper explains the electrocardiographic information which can be share with the doctor so doctor can use that information for monitoring patient’s health. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for diagnosis of heart diseases. It is very difficult for the patient to tell the difference between angina symptoms and heart attack symptoms, so it is very important to identify the symptoms of heart attack and immediately seek medical attention. The design of portable ECG system is for monitoring parameters like blood pressure, ECG acquisition, body temperature, critical impacts and heart rate measurement. In this paper we present a low cost, portable system for real time ECG acquisition, archiving and visualization. Successfully implemented the acquisition module and the visualization tool for the ECG by making it user friendly and additionally sharing the same with doctor by using GSM module. A practical case of this type of remote consultation is examined in this paper. Good quality ECG is utilized by physicians for interpretation and identification of physiological and pathological phenomena. To deal with the huge amount of electrocardiogram (ECG) data for analysis, displaying and transmitting. An effective ECG compression technique is needed to reduce the amount of data as much as possible, while acquiring the clinical significant signal for cardiac diagnosis. Here the ECG signal is analysed for various parameters such as heart rate, QRS-width; etc hardware implementation will be detailed in this paper.
