Abstract

ECG (electrocardiogram) recognition and monitor are inevitable to trace and determine heart diseases. As self-health being focused on and social medical grade being progressed, ECG monitors with features such as portable/wearable, wireless, use-friendly, low-cost and convenient at home, are more and more necessary. Unfortunately, such kind of equipments couldn´t be got currently. Thus, wearable ECG recognition and monitor instrument is developed. Palm, mobile phone and PC could be acting as display and relay terminals, where ECG signals would be transmitted to service center (e.g. hospital) through GSM/GPRS/CDMA and Internet. After introducing system architecture, the paper describes software design, direct ECG recognition method with morphology parameters based on specialists´ experiences. The first generation product includes wearable monitor and palm is ready now, which has huge market.
