Low-Cost Portable ECG Monitoring Device for Inaccessible Areas in Pakistan

A need for constant health monitoring system is essential especially heart diseases which may cause sudden stroke and death. We present in this paper the design development of a low cost, efficient user-friendly ECG device. Most rate measurement devices tools available are quite expensive not be easily some areas. Presented device monitors patient’s body information using three lead silver chloride disposable electrodes detects pulse signal. The detected signal first filtered then amplified. displays on MATLAB graphical user interface while simultaneously showing digitized digital LCD. was tested female patients aged 20-24. results obtained were reliable compared with electrocardiogram reports similar much higher cost.
