This project is about portable ECG and bio-parameters monitoring device which can be used by any individual and has an alarm which notifies the patient’s doctor or relatives in any case of emergency (based on the pulse measure) The ECG sensor which is used in this device is ADS2193 which is short circuited as a single electrode device . The body temperature is monitored using a thermocouple all the above sensors are connected to a microcontroller (MSP430F4619) which is connected to a wireless transmitter and the ECG is displayed in a display device ( mobile phone ,computer ,etc). The sonogram part of the project is made by fixing a piezoelectric transducer behind the stethoscope which is used as the matching layer .The piezoelectric crystal and the backing material are fixed behind the stethoscope and output is displayed in a display device (mobile phone, computer, etc)
I used MSP430 Microcontroller to acquire data from sensors and processor the various input signals. This device uses a modified ECG Sensor to work with only one electrode.
This project was an eye opener for me into the field of bio-infomatics and also helped me to learn the various process involved in calculating the various parameters in the human body.
