A mobile phone-based ECG monitoring system.

Abstract
We have developed a telemedicine system for monitoring a patient s electrocardiogram during daily activities The recording system consists of three ECG chest electrodes a variable gain instrumentation amplifier a low power 8 bit single chip microcomputer a 256 KB EEPROM and a 2 4 GHz low transmitting power mobile phone PHS The complete system is mounted on a single lightweight chest electrode array When a heart discomfort is felt the patient pushes the data transmission switch on the recording system The system sends the recorded ECG waveforms of the two prior minutes and ECG waveforms of the two minutes after the switch is pressed directly in the hospital server computer via the PHS The server computer sends the data to the physician on call The data is displayed on the doctor s Java mobile phone LCD Liquid Crystal Display so he or she can monitor the ECG regardless of their location The developed ECG monitoring system is not only applicable to at home patients but should also be useful for monitoring hospital patients
