Implementation of telemedicine ECG system based on bluetooth android device

Abstract

In recent years, mobile-based systems have become popular in variety of applications and attracted the interest of many researchers and manufacturers, especially in healthcare field. These systems help doctors assist their patients who are not at the hospitals or live in the remote areas. Although many advances in cardiovascular disease diagnose have been proposed, ECG still plays an important role. In this paper, a prototype for telemedicine application based on ECG signals is described with emphasis on the ECG measurement board design and building of Android application for mobile phone with Bluetooth wireless transmission.
