A prototype of a Palm Pilot based pocket ECG recorder has been developed. This device consists of a custom designed ECG acquisition module and a Palm Pilot running PalmECG, a custom designed software. Standard three-lead ECG signals (Leads I, II, III) are recorded and displayed in real time on the Palm Pilot's screen. The device also records the patient's information, the start and stop time of the recording. The recorded ECG data can be replayed, and sent to a doctor by email or transmitted to a host PC or Palm device via IR beaming. After improvement, this pocket device could be used at home for remote monitoring or in the field by doctors. It may also be used as a patient activated ambulatory ECG for diagnostic evaluation of transient cardiac symptoms such as dizziness, and chest pain. |
