TWO ELECTRODE MOBILE BASED ECG MONITORING SYSTEM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR REDUCED FALSE POSITIVE

Android device,Bluetooth, wireless, cloud computing.

For more than two decades Heart disease has remained the leading cause of death in India. It is estimated that 17.5 million people die each year from cardiovascular diseases, amounting to a staggering 31% of all deaths worldwide. Of the 30million heart patients, 14 million reside in urban areas and 16 million in rural areas. If the current trend continues, by the year 2020, the burden of cardiovascular diseases in India will surpass that of any other country in the world. In most cases patients delay heart attack treatment thinking that they have a breathing or gastric problem leading to higher mortality. The existing 12 lead ECG system requires more caution and procedures to be followed while acquiring the ECG signal and cannot be used for continuous monitoring away from hospitals. The main objective of this proposal is to prevent emergency situations by informing the patient to take actions before patient's health condition get worse leading to emergency medical care. The proposed project is a design of simple wireless two electrodes system that could be worn by the patient which continuously monitors the heart rate and sends data to an application in the smart phone and uploads data in the cloud for access from cardiologist.
