ECG Monitoring System in Vehicles

Abstract

In day care for a driver, continuous ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring is required because symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia and hypoxia can occur unexpectedly. To enhance care service and quality for a driver, this study proposed a real-time ECG monitoring system of transmitting ECG signals to Android mobile phones or tablets through Bluetooth transmission in vehicles. These signals are then uploaded to a cloud database, enabling healthcare physicians and nurses to instantly monitor and access ECG data.
