A Telemedicine application: ECG data from wireless body sensors on a Smartphone

The development of information technology and telecommunications has reached a level where its usefulness can be applied for health care needs towards Telemedicine and Telecare. Using the advantages of ICT, in this paper, we propose an application that provides a comfortable option for telemonitoring of the heart activity. We use a wireless bipolar body electrode to record ECG wirelessly coupled with the advantages of existing portable smart devices to display the real-time data from the electrode. Additionally, from three wireless bipolar body electrodes the standard 12-lead ECG can be reconstructed and displayed, and stored for further analyses.
