Abstract

We have developed a system for monitoring a patient s electrocardiogram ECG and movement during daily activities The complete system is mounted on chest electrodes and continuously samples the ECG and three axis accelerations When the patient feels a heart discomfort he or she pushes the data transmission switch on the recording system and the system sends the recorded ECG waveforms and three axis accelerations of the two prior minutes and for two minutes after the switch is pressed The data goes directly to a hospital server computer via a 2 4 GHz low power mobile phone These data are stored on a server computer and downloaded to the physician s Java mobile phone The physician can display the data on the phone s liquid crystal display
