Wearable Non Contact Armband for Mobile ECG Monitoring System

Abstract: In this project, the proposed concept is to replace the existing methods used to measure ECG. The existing methods have lots of disadvantages such as it can’t give actual measurement when it is tied above the cloth. Similarly it can’t give reading when the person is doing some other daily activities. Then there is a standard method for measuring ECG which is mainly used in hospitals i.e., 12 lead clinical ECG system. But problem is that we can’t use this system in our home. The proposed method can give more accurate reading over clothes of any thickness. It can track heart activities even when the person is doing any other living activities. It can be used for real time monitoring of permanent as well as temporary heart patients. When any abnormality appears in ECG, system will send data to the doctor using IOT. GPS is also used to send the location of the patient. The proposed method is really helpful in case of heart patients. Since it can track heart activities, it can save lots of life from heart related diseases. Chances for early attack can be prevented to some extent.
