Abstract

Nowadays, the fast-growing technology market for sensors and smart devices allows anyone to constantly monitor important vital parameters, like electrocardiogram (ECG). Mobile health systems typically employ data transmission to the premises of the health service provider via appropriate telecommunication protocols, which often consider only vital parameters. However, these parameters are likely to vary, depending on each person’s exercise, psychological condition, habits, environmental conditions and many other factors. Thus, it is necessary to utilize a protocol that is able to carry additional data concerning factors that are tightly connected with the quality of vital sign measurements. This paper proposes an extended version of the e-SCP-ECG+ protocol, mainly used for ECG data transmission, in order to include several types of information that affect the quality of the obtained signal, as well as the diagnosis process. The aim is to offer medical experts with an enriched clinical view of the patients so as to diagnose a medical incident more accurately.
