Modern approach in multiple patients ECG monitoring

This paper presents a complex system for monitoring of multiple patients at the same time by the means of acquiring the ECG waveforms from human heart. This system is composed of devices for acquisition of ECG waveforms utilizing Bluetooth technology for wireless data transfer, software applications for mobile devices with internet access, server application and client application employing innovative visualization techniques of gathered information optimized for tablet computers and application for management of patient´s records. The novelty of our approach is using tablet computers as visualization device instead of professional equipment that integrates both the display and the low voltage amplifier circuits. For this purpose we utilize the HTML5 and WebSockets technology. Our aim is designing a low cost ECG monitoring system including both the hardware and software part.
