Development of a Portable 12 Lead ECG Signal Acquisition System using National Instruments' MyRio-1900

Abstract

The 12-Lead ECG using NI MYRIO 1900 is a portable device for acquisition of heart signals to be used in interpretation and analysis. The rural areas of the Philippines have few health professionals, and high cost of healthcare services, making people inaccessible to primary healthcare including heart health. This portable medical device can be very useful for them. A portable electrocardiograph (ECG) can help the people monitor heart conditions much easier because of its accessibility and easy-to-understand functions. This device is developed using graphical programming through NI LabView and a reconfigurable input/output device which is NI MyRIO 1900. It can produce ECG values of Heart Rate, QRS Duration and QT Interval of patients of different ages and have interpretation and Data Analytics. During the system testing, the ECG values obtained from the device were compared to the ECG values of the same patients obtained from the conventional ECG test done in hospitals and clinics. The system achieved an accuracy rate of 90.68 percent. The results of this study show that the system can benefit the community on having an on-hand analysis of their primary heart status.
