Tóm tắt

A simple and low-cost remote heart rate monitoring system, causing minimal constraints to a patient, is developed. This system based on electrocardiography will enable doctors and nurses to monitor the patient's heart rate as well as the electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform from the central monitoring system. A portable transmitter, which can be carried by the moving patient, is built. It is formed by the front-end module and the FM transmitter. The front-end module is used for ECG waveform detection from a patient's body and signal conditioning. The signal transmitted is received by an FM radio. Two PIC16F877 are programmed for heart rate counting and ECG waveform display. Therefore, two software written in Visual Basic language are also developed in order to display the heart rate and the ECG waveform on the computer screen. A beep sound, which acts as an alarm, will be heard whenever the patient's heart rate is abnormal.
