A Survey on Wearable ECG Monitoring System using Wireless Transmission of Data

Abstract: Wearable electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring systems today use electrodes that require skin preparation in advance, and require pastes or gels to make electrical contact to the skin [2]. To avoid these pastes or gels we use sensors. The developed acquisition system is used for remote monitoring of patients� heart rate. This system allows the physician able to understand patient's scenario on the monitor by wireless module. Here low cost, low power consumption and flexible network topology Zig Bee wireless module is used to sense the remote patient data. All sensor data are transferred within a group of Zig Bee wireless module [2].
