Abstract :
Miniaturization of electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring devices has received much attention due to the growing emphasis on healthcare. In this paper, we present a wearable wireless ECG monitoring device, ECG Plaster. A description of design considerations with regards to the constituents of the device is provided, together with its implementation on a small size board measuring 55 by 23 mm, to ensure wearability.
