Care of critically ill patient, requires spontaneous & accurate decisions so that life-protecting &
lifesaving therapy can be properly applied. Statistics reveals that every minute a human is losing
his/her life across the globe. More close in India, everyday many lives are affected by heart
attacks and more importantly because the patients did not get timely and proper help. Hence, we
thought of designing the real time ECG monitoring system, using Advanced RISC Machine-9
(ARM9), which is highly reliable and portable. The purpose of choosing this platform is that we
can use it in normal mobile phones, which gives ultimate usage of the prototype.
The development tool used is FriendlyARM-MINI2440, using LINUX operating system. LINUX
is open source. The mini2440 is an efficient, a practical lowcost ARM9 Single Board Computer
(SBC) with a very high performance/cost ratio. For the acquisition purpose we are using a
module which contains sensors for ECG acquisition as well as the circuit to amplify acquired
signals.
We can conclude that we are able to monitor the data in real time which is sensed from patient.
Usage of module has proven to be advantageous as it is integrating the 3 channel data and
sending through a single channel. Also amplification is taking place in module itself.
