Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat interval. HRV signal can be collect from Mobile Wireless Electrocardiogram (EKG) devices by measures small electrical signals from the patient's chest. Using these signals, doctors and other medical staff can monitor the patient's well-being and predict future problems. In this design, we has built a prototype for the mobile wireless EKG unit as well as chosen software for the wireless transmission and base station. The mobile unit can be worn by the patient, and can measure heart rhythm data, digitize it, and transfer it wirelessly back to the base station. At the base station the software can store the data and allow doctor view and analysis the HRV signals.
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.
