Design and implementation of an embedded system for transmitting human ECG and web server for emergency services and remote health monitoring: A low cost ECG signal simulator and its transmitter, to send and store data in electronic databases, in remote l

This paper highlights the design of an embedded telemedicine system and web server for remote health monitoring of patients. It enlightens the technique to remotely monitor patient data. We proposed a real time telemedicine system utilizing GSM/GPRS protocol for the third world countries with the help of which, the patients can be monitored from any part of the world by the doctor via the internet. This system utilizes a set of software simulators and a DAC as a solution to low cost testing. We have used Lab View software as the software simulator for generating the ECG signal and NI equipment´s to get a real time analog output. That signal is fed to a GSM modem to transmit data over the internet.
