Abstract
In this paper a portable, wireless ZigBee based ECG monitoring device prototype is presented. The device is able to acquire, sample and transmit over the air a single lead ECG signal to a remote base station (e.g. PC, laptop), in real time. ZigBee offers an efficient relay protocol, good transmission range, flexible network structure with emphasis on power consumption efficiency. Considerations are made upon ZigBee usefulness in the field of telemedicine and biomedical engineering, focusing on the trade-off between the amount of data transmitted and preservation of battery life.
