Abstract

Mobile and at-home healthcare systems are becoming increasingly important due to the current hospital crowding and long access-time to health services. The use of modern information and communication technologies in health applications and the development of low-cost medical equipment appropriate to personal and home use are among the top research priorities worldwide. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a novel wireless electrocardiography device which is user-friendly, low cost and low power consumer, and has a high degree of interconnectivity with terminals such as smartphone, laptops, tablets and PCs. These features make it appropriate for mobile and at-home healthcare applications.
