Abstract

Nowadays, the electrocardiograph (ECG) is certainly the most effective tool to identity anomalies in the cardiac activity and is used clinically in diagnosing various diseases and conditions associated with the heart. In this paper, we present a description and system architecture for a telecardiology monitoring system based on WI-FI Network. The system is enabled with integrated WI-FI communication capability that will relay the signals wirelessly to processing centers or router. The aim of this project is to provide an ECG medical monitoring for the user (patient or potential patient) at any time and any place, if there is any abnormal change of ECG data.
