Ketaki N. Patil, P. C. Bhaskar

Abstract: The development of patient monitoring system is of great importance in today’s stressed and busy world where people even don’t have time to visit doctors again and again. The need of instant medical help is also increasing day by day and can be achieved with wireless technology thereby motivating for wireless patient monitoring system. Also among all the diseases Cardiovascular is one that accounts for high mortality rate across the globe. So, the proposed system uses the key concept of wireless sensor network and focuses on ECG signal. This system relies on 3 lead ECG clamp to capture real time ECG of the patient and GSM/GPRS SIM300 module for real time wireless transmission. . Since, we are dealing with an important parameter that is ECG data integrity is must and is accomplished using TCP protocol. The main processing element used is ARM7 and ECG signal is efficiently received on PC in MATLAB at doctor workstation.

Keywords: Wireless sensor network (WSN), 3 lead ECG clamp, Sim300, TCP protocol and ARM7.
