Abstract

This work proposes a remote monitoring system of ECG signals. The ECG signal is generated with an algorithm called ecgsyn, and it is transmitted in a real ZigBee network. The signal received by the sink node is stored in a file, and is sent to a web server in the Internet. Thus, after an electrocardiogram test, doctors can view the biometric data in the web browser of its mobile device. Experiments were done, transmitting 2500 samples of a ECG signal, and we observed a high packet delivery ratio, even when transmitter and receiver are placed in different rooms, leading to a small reconstruction error.
