Abstract

In this paper we present an experimental campaign which shows the interference levels in the ISM band in a typical City Hospital. This first result leaded us to propose a wireless real-time ECG monitoring system which does not use the ISM band. The performance of the proposed hardware solution following the IEEE802.15.4a standard has been proven in a real situation by means of experimental trials in the emergency ward of a real city hospital.
