Abstract

There have been major advances in research and development of devices for the diagnosis of patients in the medical field. A light and portable wireless system to monitor human physiological signals has been always a medical personnel’s dream. An e-health monitoring system is a widely used noninvasive diagnosis tool for an ambulatory patient who may be at risk from latent life threatening cardiac abnormalities. The authors proposed a high performance and intelligent wireless measuring e-health monitoring system for a mobile device that is characterized by the small sized and low power consumption. The hardware system consists of an one-chip microcontroller (Atmega 128L), a wireless module, and electrocardigram (ECG) signal preprocessing including filtering, power noise canceling, and level shifting. The software utilizes a recursive filter and preprocessing algorithm to detect ECG signal parameters, i.e., QRS-complex, Q-R-T points, HR, and QT-interval. To easily interface with a mobile device, an analyzer program operates on a Windows mobile OS. This paper described the system that was developed and successfully tested for a wireless transmission of ECG signals to a mobile device.
