Description
Summary:This paper aims to design and development of low cost, light weight, portable Telecardiac system for remote monitoring of cardiac patients. The proposed system employs a Field Programmable Gate Array, a reconfigurable platform that performs online analysis of the acquired ECG signal continuously. FPGA based Arrhythmia detector, implemented on a DE2 Altera Cyclone II board is interfaced with GSM/GPS module to alert the physician on a mobile phone about the imminent fatal condition and location of the patient. If the portable system detects any arrhythmia, it automatically sends an alarm condition to the patient's care taker and ambulance centre by sending an SMS that has information about the abnormal condition and location of the patient.
