Design Of The Remote Electrocardio Monitoring System

Using high speed embedded AVR Single-chip Microcomputer , this paper illustrates the design of the remote electrocardio monitoring system. This system includes two great modules : portable electrocardio monitoring instrument and hospital central monitoring station . Electrocardio monitoring instrument with LCD can gather and storage electrocardio data, show electrocardio wave, and dispatch electrocardio singles through telephone to designated hospital monitoring centre . This monitoring system can function as heart protection equipment for patients when they are away from hospital . and it can also be used as portable electrocardiogram instrument for doctors . The central monitoring station in hospital adopts Pentium III as its processor , which has very excellent performance : and also have compiled the operating interface of user with virtual instrument LAB VIEW language , which can complete the following tasks : to receive electrocardio signals , to present electrocardiogram . to preserve the electrocardio data and to manage the patient's information . The merits of the system lie in its small volume and low power consumption . The design of the system's hardware and software are presented in the paper .
