Abstract
We present a distributed embedded e-Health platform targeting real-time remote monitoring, analysis and visualization of electrocardiogram signals obtained from a wearable pulse sensor. Experimental results using the STMicro BodyGateway biosensor operating at 128 or 256 pulses/s show that we can support signal acquisition, analysis and visualization in soft real-time, using a low-cost Odroid XU3/4 board as server. Validation of real-time analysis is based on a novel shared memory timing infrastructure that allows multiple collaborating processes to share relevant performance metrics.
