In this paper we present an experimental campaign which shows the interference levels in the ISM band in a typical City Hospital. This first result leaded us to propose a wireless real-time ECG monitoring system which does not use the ISM band. The performance of the proposed hardware solution has been proven in a real situation by means of experimental trials in the emergency ward of a real hospital.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
