Development of low power cardiac telemetry system

Abstract

The recent development in the era of physiological instrumentation is to avoid the long duration hospitalization with the help wearable remote monitoring systems. Low power and portability along with the speed and high performance are the main issues related with such system design and their development. In this paper a wearable data acquisition system capable to measure body parameters like temperature, ECG signal and heartbeats is developed and experimented. Module functionality is realized using low power digital sensors and an ultra-low power, high performance cortex core MSP 432 microcontroller unit. Bluetooth and GSM module is used for wireless real time signal transmission. Comparative power measurements in terms of voltage and current are also done for the realized wearable module.
