Projects:2013S2-U1 Wireless Electrocardiography System
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a standard diagnostic tool to investigate the conduction properties of the heart via sensors that are mounted on the body surface. Using current ECG equipment can be a time-consuming task and changing wires also would introduce bacteria to the patient, further increasing the risk of infection. By using a wireless ECG, the patients will be more comfortable since they are free from unnecessary wires. The device is portable and does not require user interaction. Meanwhile, the visualisation in the Android application provides possible analysis for the hospital staff and the data is automatically synchronised and stored for future review.
