Research of Portable ECG Monitoring Device

A new kind of portable electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder and clothes is developed for long-time health monitoring. The electrodes, wires and recorder are available for ECG detection. The electrodes are fixed in the lining of the clothes. The thin wires are attached between the front fabrics and the lining. The recorder can be put in the pocket of the clothes. There is interface in the recorder for ECG signal input. This recorder is designed by modules, which includes intelligent processing module based on MSP430, electric circuit module for signal preprocessing, Bluetooth based wireless data transmission module and displayer. The recorder analyzes ECG and obtains the heart rate which is displayer in LCD. The samples of ECG are transmitted to wireless mobile terminal such as cell phone or PDA for graph displaying and remote medical service. Amounts of clinic tests have been done and the results have been approved by the doctors in hospitals and patients.
