Abstract
We have developed a telemedicine system to monitor a patient s electrocardiogram ECG and heart sounds PCG during daily activity The complete system consisting of an ECG recorder an accelerometer and a 2 4 GHz low power mobile phone is mounted on three chest sensing electrodes The accelerometer records the PCG produced by closing of the mitral and aortic valves S1 and S2 The sampled ECG and PCG are stored in the system for two minutes and continuously updated When a patient feels heart discomfort such as angina or an arrhythmia he she pushes the data transmission switch on the system The ECG and PCG for the next two minutes are stored in the system and then the system then sends the four minutes of stored data directly to a hospital server computer via the 1 9 GHz low power mobile phone These data are stored on the server and then downloaded to the physician s Java configured mobile phone The physician can then check the patient s cardiac condition regardless of patient or physician locations and then take appropriate actions
