ABSTRACT: ECG monitoring in daily life is an important means of
treating heart disease. To make it easier for the medical to monitor the
ECG of their patients outside the hospital, we designed and developed an ECG
monitoring and alarming system based on Android smart phone. In our system, an
ECG device collects the ECG signal and transmits it to an Android phone. The
Android phone detects alarms which come from the ECG devices. When alarms
occur, Android phone will capture the ECG images and the details about the
alarms, and sends them to the cloud Alarm Server (AS). Once received,
AS push the messages to doctors’ phone, so the doctors could see the ECG images
and alarm details on their mobile phone. In our system, high resolution ECG
pictures are transmitted to doctors’ phone in a user-friendly way, which can
help doctors keep track of their patient’s condition easily.
