 ABSTRACT
To design a wearable Tele-ECG and heart rate monitoring system.
 OBJECTIVE
1) Underwear with three textile ECG electrodes, an analog
ECG front end, an MCU with an onboard radio transmitter.
2) A user smartphone which receives patient data via BLE
and relays it to a remote IoT server.
3) An IoT server to store the ECG data and transmit it
to the physician’s smartphone or the specially designed
web interface.
4) User interfaces for physicians to see patients’ ECG
signal and HR remotely, by adding or removing patients
to the database from both web interface and cell phone
interface.

 INTRODUCTION
 Patients care demands on hospitals are on the rise in
parallel with the growth of the world population and
the accompanying rise in chronic diseases.

 According to the mortality statistics recorded in 2015, 17.7 million people have lost
their lives due to cardiovascular diseases in the world.

 This number corresponds to 31% of the total number of

deaths .

 Instrumentation and measurement (I and M) are

a keystone to diagnose each disease .

 ECG measuring is quite important to examine and monitor a patient with heart
problems.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
The sensor used should be carried conveniently
without disturbance of user’s normal lives , small size,
low power consumption and avoid direct contact with
the skin.[E. Nemati , 2012].
Textile electrodes could perform reliable EBI
measurements that were as good as traditional
Ag/AgCl electrodes.[T. Pola , 2007]

METHODOLOGY
Obtain ECG signals from the textile electrodes
●

Filtering the ECG signals follows the amplification

●

Transmission of signals to android through BLE

●

Transfer of data to the IoT server

●

●
Data arriving at the server are transferred
to the physician’s phone.
