Abstract:
Frequent monitoring is required for chronically ill cardiac patients to ensure superior treatment. This paper presents a low-cost, novel wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) measuring unit for consistent use. In this study, the ECG signal is accumulated by a three electrode data acquisition system and measured by an integrated signal conditioning block AD8232. The analog signal from AD8232 is converted to digital data and recorded on a computer using unique software developed for this study. This automated software can store electronic records of the patients. These patient particulars can be forwarded to a proper medical support system if needed. To confirm the quality of ECG recorded by this prototype, clinical tests are conducted. The results of these assessments demonstrate the viability and efficacy of this system.
Description:
International Conference on Innovations in Science, Engineering and Technology 2016 (ICISET 2016) was a multidisciplinary international conference organized by the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) of International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) in association with the Center for Research and Publication (CRP) of IIUC. The objective of ICISET 2016 was to create a unique opportunity for the scientists, engineers, professionals, researchers and students to present their latest research findings and experiences in the areas of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunication Engineering, Pharmacy and other relevant areas of Science, Engineering and Technology. The conference took place on October 28-29, 2016 at the green premises of IIUC located at Kumira, Chittagong. Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), a public university in Malaysia, was the International Partner of ICISET 2016. IEEE Bangladesh Section was the Technical Co-sponsor of the conference.
