Abstract :
This project focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent wearable device for ECG continuous acquisition and transmission to some remote gateway using Bluetooth technology. The acquisition device has been designed for having very low power consumption and reduced size. The Analog Devices´ ADuC831 Micro-Converter for achieving the analog to digital conversion and the CSR´s BlueCore2 chip for the Bluetooth transmission are the core of the device. The designed device is an important component of a complete prototype for remote ECG continuous monitoring of patients with diverse cardiac diseases.
