Logan Porter, MS; Vijay Vaidyanathan, PhD
Abstract
The advances in wireless technology and popularity of smart phones, coupled with their potential for various
applications, haveled to an increase in telemedicine research and development. This study examines one such
application in telemedicine by developing a compact wireless electrocardiogram device that utilizes software to
visually display the waveform locally on a computer and also facilitates remote visibility of the waveform via
webpage and Android phone application. The purpose of the system is to serve as a means for a doctor or
physician to remotely view information of a patient away from a hospital setting.This system allows for a patient
tobe at comfortin their home environment while providing health vital information, such as the
electrocardiogram, to medical personnel.
