FIRST PROJECT

 

Properties of Home-care program using the wireless ECG module

---- Determination (in terms of normal or abnormal ECG waveforms) of ECG waveform   abnormalities by a neural network,

---- Learning the normal ECG waveform of the user (patient)

---- Determination and monitoring of abnormal rhythms (bradicardia, tachicardia, asistol, escape beat, premature ventricular contraction (PVC), T on R, bigemini, trigemini, rarely PVC, atrial premature beat (APB),

---- Monitoring the standard limb leads I and II,

---- If needed, abnormal/normal ECG data is saved in hard-disk, or read from the disk to monitor ECG data,

---- If needed, abnormal/normal ECG data is sent to a computer on internet,

---- Configuration of the internet address of server/client computer, virtual serial port number, etc.,

---- Handling connection/disconnection of bluetooth communication

---- Compatible with Win98 & XP Operating System

SECOND PROJECT

 

Properties of Mobile phone program using the wireless ECG module

---- Determination and monitoring of abnormal rhythms (bradicardia, tachicardia, asistol, escape beat, premature ventricular contraction (PVC), T on R, bigemini, trigemini, rarely PVC, atrial premature beat (APB),

---- Monitoring the standard limb leads I ,

---- Continue or if needed, abnormal/normal ECG data is saved in MMC card, or read from the MMC card to monitor ECG data,

---- Continue or if needed, abnormal/normal ECG data is sent to a computer (any IP or Port) on internet by GPRS,

---- Configuration of the internet address of server/client computer, virtual serial port number, etc.,

---- Handling connection/disconnection of bluetooth communication

---- Compatible with Symbean OP (for Nokia 6600).

THIRD PROJECT

 

Technical specifations of a New Wireless ECG module

---- Continuous ECG data transmission from standard limb lead (lead I ),

---- 300Hz sampling frequency,

---- ECG data is saved into a MMC Card (32 Mbyte) in real-time,

---- For Supply voltage 3.3V, 

             total current < 25 mA for the module with bluetooth,

             total current < 8.5 mA for the module without bluetooth,

---- 26 hours usage with 1.5 Li-ion battery (2400 mA ) for the module with bluetooth,

---- Size of the module is 60´20´10 mm,

---- Modul includes micro-controler with 12 bit ADC,

---- Modul includes buzzer for alerting open lead wires

---- Modul can send ECG signal to the PC via RS232 connection without bluetooth and

     MMC card,

---- the cost of the module

is less than 15 € (Euro) without bluetooth and MMC card.
