This paper presents the design and prototype of a wireless health monitoring system using mobile phone accessories. We focus on measuring real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate monitoring using a smartphone case. With the increasing number of cardiac patients worldwide, this design can be used for early detection of heart diseases. Unlike most of the existing methods that use an optical...
This paper presents the design, implementation and test of a watch with the capability to measure multiple physiological signals, such as photoplethysmography (PPG), electrocardiography (ECG), and some physiological parameters extracted from PPG and ECG. Based on the PPG and ECG signals, the pulse rate and heart rate could be extracted respectively. Moreover, the pulse transmit time (PTT) could be...
One of the difficulties in implementing family medicine is the number of people per physician. This large number of enrollees makes preventive health services unavailable due to forcing physicians to do only outpatient services. In this study, it is aimed to realize the Family Physician Monitoring S ystem which will enable early intervention to the diseases that may occur by watching realtime medical...
Wearable sensors currently represent a non-invasive way of monitoring health-related parameters, quite useful for both self-assessment and naturalistic studies. The autonomic imbalance experienced by athletes engaged in strenuous physical exercises could be also seen through this minimally obtrusive approach, possibly opening the field to a variety of novel investigations. Here, 41 athletes, taking...
The Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most serious diseases in the world. To monitor cardiac condition and diagnose cardiovascular disease conveniently, a mobile intelligent Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system is developed. The system is consisted of signal acquisition module, Bluetooth transmission module, signal processing module and intelligent diagnosis module. The ECG signals collected...
This paper describes a system design of a Bluetooth-enabled low energy (BlE) electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system, which was developed during undergraduate computer engineering capstone courses spanning over two semesters. The BLE ECG monitoring system integrates Bluetooth wireless communication feature into an Android application with an electronic circuit detecting ECG signals. The portable...
Wireless devices for ambulatory ECG monitoring are becoming increasingly popular. One of the challenges that wireless monitoring has to deal with is clock synchronization between the wireless sensor device and the controller device. The monitoring device is usually kept as simple as possible to maximize its autonomy, and is thus limited in its clock accuracy. In this article, we describe a method...
The system which monitors the various physiological signal plays a vital role in diagnosing the diseases of a patient in time. Wireless transmission of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal enables the mobility of the patient and doctor. The device captures and provides the ECG data across networks which can be continuously monitored through any display device in real-time. The proposed wearable device contains...
Physical indicators are directly related with health and fitness of human body. By employing real-time e-health monitoring systems for acquiring, and analyzing bio-signals by measurements such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyography (EMG), it is possible to extract information to achieve better health-care in terms of observation, diagnosis, and treatment. However, those systems are limited...
Major requirements of wearable biosensor nodes include small size, light weight and low power consumption. It can be fulfilled by exploring various high integration technologies such as Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or System on Chip (SoC) implementation. This paper presents SoC prototype of a Biosensor Node. Electrocardiogram (ECG), a vital body parameter, has been considered for...
A mobile medical monitoring system based on s-martphone is proposed in this paper. The system can collect patient's physiological data by portable device and send them to patients' smartphone. Their smartphones will enlarge the data by uploading them to remote database, so that doctor and patient's family can access to the data far away and monitor patient's health condition. Furthermore, APP in smartphone...
Technology plays the major role in healthcare not only for sensory devices but also in data transfer accordingly and displaying it. Networked sensors, either worn on the body or embedded in our living environment, makes it possible for gathering rich information indicative of our physical and mental health in a smart approach. In this paper the Arduino based microcontroller is used as a gateway to...
In this paper we report a design and fabrication process for a screen printed, skin-mounted hybrid system for electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements. The system consists of printed electrodes on a stretchable bandage substrate designed to be attached to the chest, an electronics module, and a data receiving device. The electronics unit is reversibly attached to the single-use electrode bandage to measure...
For Good Mental health and strength of any human life the basic activity regularly to be practiced is a Physical Exercise. The chronic diseases such as Heart attack, Arthritis, Cancer and Diabetes can be easily prevented with regular exercise which also helps to maintain the weight and reduces cholesterol. The researchers have been attracted with this area and its situations for real time monitoring...
Some factors that have increased cardiovascular incidents are sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, smoking, stress; hence the importance of continuously monitor cardiac activity in people. This research proposes the implementation of a wireless system to monitor the heart allowing visualization of the electrocardiogram (ECG) on a mobile device via Bluetooth (BT) technology and Arduino UNO board...
This paper describes a new solution for mobile heart monitoring. This approach is based on the experience of ECG processing algorithms development for diagnostic purposes. The described approach allows developing a new mobile heart monitoring system consisting of ECG recording device, mobile computer (smartphone or tablet) and server (medical database). It is based on specially developed software...
Daily monitoring of vital signs using wearable devices is gaining more research and applications every day. This paper describes a medical monitoring system using a group of sensors coupled at the body of a patient. The system developed in this work aims to help health care professionals to monitor patients and also provide users with a treatment without interference in their routine.
The concurrent popularity of wearable sensors and Internet-of-Things (IoT) brings significant benefits to body sensor networks (BSN) that could communicate with the cloud computing platforms for bringing interoperability in health and wellness monitoring. We designed Pulse-Glasses that are cloud-connected, wearable, smart eyeglasses for unobtrusive and continuous heart rate (HR) monitoring. We 3D-printed...
This paperwork describes the development and test of circuitry and software to enable the use of Android mobile phones equipped with Bluetooth to receive the incoming electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from a user and show it in real-time on the cell phone screen. The system comprises three distinct subsystems. The first one is dedicated to condition the analog ECG signal, preparing it for conversion...
The heart is a vital organ that needs to be monitored periodically by everyone, including athletes and heart patients. Heart condition of an athlete requires special attention to keep his/her stamina and performance, however monitoring the heart signal during athlete activity is challenge to be solved. In this research, we developed a mini wearable ECG device and real time arrhythmia detection based...
