Abstract


The increasing trend of heart disease has turned the attention of researchers toward the use
of portable connected technologies. The necessity of continuous special care for cardiovascular patients
is an inevitable fact. Methods: In this research, a new wireless electrocardiographic (ECG) signalmonitoring system based on smartphone is presented. This system has two main sections. The first
section consists of a sensor which receives ECG signals via an amplifier, then filters and digitizes the
signal, and prepares it to be transmitted. The signals are stored, processed, and then displayed in a mobile
application. The application alarms in dangerous situations and sends the location of the cardiac patient
to family or health-care staff. Results: The results obtained from the analysis of the electrocardiogram
signals on 20 different people have been compared with the traditional ECG in hospital by a cardiologist.
The signal is instantly transmitted by 200 sample per second to mobile phone. The raw data are
processed, the anomaly is detected, and the signal is drawn on the interface in about 70 s. Therefore, the
delay is not noticeable by the patient. With respect to rate of data transmission to hospital, different
internet connections such as 2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi, WiMax, or Long-Term Evolution (LTE) could be used.
Data transmission ranges from 9.6 kbps to 20 Mbps. Therefore, the physician could receive data with no
delay. Conclusions: A performance accuracy of 91.62% is obtained from the wireless ECG system. It
conforms to the hospital’s diagnostic standard system while providing a portable monitoring anywhere
at anytime.
