These devices can capture events that occur infrequently or under specific circumstances and provide a realistic perspective for diagnostics. These mobile health wearables complement the equipment used in the hospital sector and extend remote care-monitoring with long-term records of the activity and vital signs while the user performs daily activities. The growing trend of home health or mobile health devices, which are medical devices for personal use, helps to address this problem because data are readily accessible through the use of technology such as smartphones, monitoring sensors, and software applications that register, transmit, and store a person’s health condition. Often, CVDs result in death by heart attack or heart conditions due to lack of knowledge or identification. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports 17.7 million deaths in 2015 and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) indicates that CVDs cause 1.9 million deaths a year. A low-cost, high-quality portable ECG for long-term monitoring prototype that reasonably complies with electrical safety regulations and medical equipment design was realized.Ĭonsidered one of the leading causes of death worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The maximum number of samples/second was 2380 Hz in serial cable transmission, whereas in microSD recording mode, a continuous ECG signal for up to 36 h at 500 Hz was verified. The fabricated device did not degrade the AD823X noise performance, and an ECG waveform with negligible distortion was obtained. Ultimately, a custom printed circuit board was produced requiring advanced manufacturing options of 2.5 mils trace widths for the small package components. Simulation and testing assessed the system stability and performance parameters in terms of not losing any sample data throughout the length of the recording and finding the maximum sampling frequency and validation determined and resolved problems that arose in open-source development. A menu incorporates the device’s several operating modes. The data logging shield provides gigabytes of storage, as the signal is recorded to a microSD card adapter.
The digitized ECG signal can be transmitted by serial cable, via Bluetooth to a PC, or to an Android smartphone system for visualization. This required modifying the microchip with the breadboard-friendly Arduino Nano board in addition to a data logger and a Bluetooth breakout board.
Starting with the evaluation board of the chip, open-source hardware and software components were integrated into a breadboard prototype. Relevant to mobile health, the design of a portable electrocardiograph (ECG) device using AD823X microchips as the analog front-end is presented.
