Um Sistema para Monitoramento Remoto de Sinais de Eletrocardiograma em Ambientes Hospitalares e de Home Care

Annually, about 17.9 million people in the world die from someform of cardiovascular disease, and most of these deaths could beprevented with a simple ECG (electrocardiogram) exam, followed byan adequate medical treatment. The ECG is an exam that collects theheart’s electrical impulses. These data can be visualized in graphsthat allow the identification of possible alterations or behaviors outof the known parameters, that may cause harm to the patients. Theproposed systems enables medical team to collect ECG signals anddetect some anomaly in patients allocated in hospitals and homecare environments. The data collected are transmitted through aWi-Fi network to a server at the internet cloud, where they arepropperly storaged. This way, the medical team can visualize thenecessary parameters in real-time using an App designed to mobiledevices. Real experiments were performed, in a case study, showingthe feasibility of the proposed system.
