Abstract
This paper proposes a mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) system based on microcontroller technology. A
portable device was developed to acquire ECG signals and transmit them using GSM network. ECG is an
electrical recording of the heart which is used by phycisian in regular medicine practice to monitore the
condition of the heart of the patient and to detect abnormalities because of heart disease. Using this mobile ecg
system patients in a rural or remote area can be telemonitored. And this system is an ongoing project therefore
improvements are still required to enhance the system performance.
