Design and implementation of computer based ECG system

Abstract

A personel computer based ECG system is designed andpresented For the recording of ECG waveForms of patients intheir living environment(at home,in oFFices,etc.).The system offers computer facilities to ECGrecording. The ECG system designed is inexpensive, easy touse, saFe and can be connected to an IBn PC compa:tiblecomputer. The soFtware developed detects heart rate in realtimeand generates alarm iF it can not Find an heartbeat in apredetermined time interval. The ECG data can easily berecorded on floppy diskettes when required.` The system canalso be used as a cardiological diagnostic tool since it canautomatically detect the P,Q,R,S and T waves and callculatetime intervals and determine wavefrorm levels.
