Abstract
Patient monitoring is an important issue in the medical field, requiring planning, effort, and time. One of the challenges that physicians, nurses, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians face is the shortage of specialized medical equipment and staff with the ability to measure, display, store, and transmit the vital signs of patients for remote diagnosis under critical conditions. Therefore, and based on our evaluation for such needs, our main research objective was to develop a new system to enable these professionals to perform such monitoring functions with a higher level of safety, performance, and time effectiveness with reduced cost. An advanced, integrated, effortless, and portable system was developed, which is capable to measure, monitor, display, store, and transmit data related to the Electrocardiography (ECG) signal along with its derivatives, such as the heart rate using a hybrid system that combines hardware and software.
Highlights
Electrocardiography (ECG) [1] is an interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart, detected by electrodes attached to the surface of the skin and recorded by a device, external to the body
The peaks in ECG signals usually are corrupted by environment noise and cannot be detected properly by traditional curvingfitting methods
The wavelet-based method is less affected by trends in the signal. This item uses the WA Multiscale Peak Detection Virtual Instrumentation (VI) to detect the peaks in an ECG signal
Summary
Electrocardiography (ECG) [1] is an interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart, detected by electrodes attached to the surface of the skin and recorded by a device, external to the body. The goal of our research, based on our evaluation of the needs of the Primary Health Centers (PHCs), is to develop a new system with the required features to enable healthcare professionals to perform monitoring functions with higher safety, performance, and time effectiveness with reduced cost using embedded technology and advanced signal processing that can be used remotely via the Virtual Instrumentation (VI) technology. This system should overcome the lack of expert physicians in rural regions or some urban clinics or health centers, who can be consulted remotely in real-time if needed.
