ECG for everybody: Mobile based telemedical healthcare system

Abstract

This paper presents telemedical system entitled ECG for Everybody. ECG for Everybody is a mobile based telemedical healthcare system for heart health check. Key components of the system are: ECG device, mobile applications, web platform with portals. Main system capabilities are ECG acquisition, ECG signal review service by physician involved in the system, automated analysis, transmission to the server for permanent storing and remote access. An attractive mobile application is implemented for heartbeat detection and HRV analysis using only mobile device camera (PPG approach, no additional device is needed). ECG signal simulator (generator) is designed as a mobile application and a very affordable device which transforms signal generated by the mobile app to the standard ECG signal which can be further captured by any ECG device. ECG simulator is an affordable solution for various ECG signal visualizations on the real ECG equipment. Education and equipment testing are just some of possible applications of the ECG signal simulator solution.
