Advanced Wireless ECG Monitoring System

This book describes a low-cost, portable system with wireless transmissioncapabilities for the acquisition, processing, storing, and visualization in real-time of the electrical activity of the heart to a PC. Implementation of this system would be beneficial to all involved in the use of electrocardiography as access to, and movement of, the patient would not be impeded by the physical constraints imposed by the cables. The PC is equipped with software allowing the received ECG signals to be saved, analyzed, and sent by email to another part of the world.
