Abstract
Telemedicine is being widely studied and implemented to make healthcare accessible to remote areas. This paper presents development and demonstration of ECG measurement prototype system designed for telemedicine application. The prototype e-ECG system is based on MDK board from Texas Instrument (TI) and has been augmented with transmission/reception capability through GPRS modem. Software for ECG recording, display, transmission to remote server and downloading has also been developed. Recorded ECG plots can be made readily available to a consultant in an urban hospital and diagnosis can be provided to the patient in a very short span of time. The system has been successfully demonstrated in different environments.
