Sistema de monitoreo electrocardiográfico a distancia

Abstract

This paper is about a two-lead portable monitor able to detect dangerous ECG events in real-time processing, by detecting the QRS complexes and measuring the heart rate. Also, it sends both signal channels to a remote server computer in a cardiac care center through the patient cell phone using the Bluetooth standard protocol [1]. This transmission can be triggered by an automatic detection of a dangerous ECG event or manually by the patient. The device also has a graphic LCD that shows the signal and during the communication it visualizes text messages that can be sent by the specialist at the server. The device has a built-in buzzer for notify the patient where is an incoming message or something else according with the device configuration. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
