Abstract :
In this paper, a novel wearable electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring system is presented. Unlike most of the existing holter monitors that are composed of conventional electrodes and multiple cables, the ECG monitoring system proposed here consists of intelligent electrodes and one single Active-Cable. A prototype of a wearable ECG monitoring system is developed and implemented on Xilinx FPGAs. The experimental results show that a reliable performance with high-quality ECG data can be achieved using this novel ECG monitoring system.
