Title
A Wearable Ecg Apperatus For Ubiquitous Health Care
Abstract
The goal of this research is to develop a wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) apparatus with Bluetooth 4.0 function which can detect the heart beats, mental index and physical activity in real time. It measured one lead ECG signal. Its specification follows the standard of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for medical electrical equipment and ambulatory electrocardiographic systems (Holter ECG system). Moreover, its ingress protection rating has IP 68 degree. Thus, the user could wear it all day and to do any exercise including swimming. In order to let patients feeling comfortable, its weight is light and it could full run above 24 hours. The data was stored in a 4G flash memory. We also proposed a method to detect the heart beats and frequency parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) in real time. This algorithm can be embedded in a single chip microcontroller. We used the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database to evaluate the performance of our designed system. The sensitivity and positive predictivity arrives 99.7% and 99.0%. The results show our designed Bluetooth wearable ECG apparatus can record the ECG signal and detect the heart beats, HRV and step counts in real time. It is very suitable to be applied in the Ubiquitous health care.
