Abstract

Recent miniaturization of ECG sensors and other health monitoring systems potentially allowing remote monitoring of certain diseases in the patients own home. Exploiting the full potential of this technology poses several design challenges for both the miniaturized ECG sensor, as well as the required infrastructure for data transport, storage and diagnosis. This paper proposes an ECG sensor prototype allowing experimentation on sensor technology and signal processing as well as infrastructure. The prototype is based on the Blackfin processor from Analog Devices, and uses Bluetooth for wireless communication.
