Abstract :
This research implements wireless ECG and acceleration measurement device that is small enough to put on body and operating by embedded battery. The module has connector for 3 ECG electrodes socket and embedded 3-axis accelerometer sensor. Also, it has SD memory slot and store all data within 2 GB. And it transmits the data using wireless module so we can measure the subject´s ECG and activity transition value. Using the correlation between accelerometer signal and ECG signal, we can determine the activity assessment more precisely and also detect the cardiovascular abnormality.
