Abstract :
This paper describes an undergraduate design project in medical instrumentation. PHENOM stands for Personal HEart fuNctiOn Monitor. This portable, microcontroller-based device measures electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). The project provides hands-on experiences for students to integrate their engineering skills in analog and digital design, microprocessor, software development, and digital signal processing and to work in a setting analogous to industrial R&D
