Telemedicine-equipped android interface-based heart rate monitoring

Android Based ECG Monitoring System

This document presents the development of a low power and portable ECG monitoring device based on MSP430 microcontroller and an Android Phone. This work is done in order to provide a reliable solution for cardiovascular patients who can help them analyze their ECG easily. There are many implementations of ECG monitoring devices at present but most of them are built using custom integrated ics. ...

Heart Rate Monitoring

A practical means for unobtrusive and ubiquitous detection and monitoring of heart and respiration activity from a distance could be a powerful tool for health care, emergency, and surveillance applications, yet remains a largely unrealized goal. Without the need for contact or subject preparation (special clothing, attachments, etc.), this could better extend health monitoring to the chronical...

An Android-Based Heart Monitoring System for the Elderly and for Patients with Heart Disease

The current trend in health monitoring systems is to move from the hospital to portable personal devices. This work shows how consumer devices like heart rate monitors can be used not only for applications in sports, but also for medical research and diagnostic purposes. The goal pursued by our group was to develop a simple, accurate, and inexpensive system that would use a few pieces of data a...

Architecture of a Telemedicine System for Monitoring Sick Heart Remotely

The monitoring of the vital functions of human organism could be in the future facilitated by swallowing micro-sensors or implementing them under the skin. Multi-sensor capsules or micro-cameras that can be swallowed already exist, by which we can transmit images from inside the human body without surgery (with a battery life of 24 hours). This paper presents our first reflection on the develop...
