- Abstract
Electrocardiography (ECG) is an important diagnostic device that can be used to assess the health of the heart and provide real-time recording of the electrical activity of the heart. The recent wearable technology offers continuous and non-invasive measures of ECGs in nonclinical settings. This paper will introduce the design, development and implementation of a smart wrist-worn ECG monitoring device which incorporates energy efficient hardware, signal acquisition and wireless transmission of data. The system will consist of an ECG component, microcontroller (Arduino Nano), Wi-Fi component, and OLED display, which allows real-time local visualization and remote monitoring using cloud services. The microcontroller has a 6th-order Bessel filter that reduces noise and maintains the fidelity of a waveform, thus improving the signal clarity. The device features a small and robust casing, intuitive user interface, and affordable parts, which will make it appropriate in accessible cardiac monitoring in a wide variety of locations, such as developing areas. The suggested system shows good combination in hardware design, signal processing, and connectivity, providing a low-cost, reliable, and portable system to monitor the ECG continuously, and hence, can fulfil the requirements of sustainable development goal (SDG) 3.
