Acquisition and Elaboration of Cardiac Signal in Android

Smartphone Devices

Abstract
Today, the broad proliferation of Smart phones and Tablets has determined a wide
availability of software applications for numerous purposes. Thanks to this, Smartphones are
now essential devices for many aspects of everyday life and not just advanced mobile phone
terminals. The presence of powerful processing units, embedded sensors as well as the
availability of many standard communication interfaces has recently attracted the interest of the
scientific community. Several projects based on Smartphone systems have been proposed in
different fields and many more application scenarios are being explored. A critical aspect still
unresolved is the possibility of acquiring external information, such as data from other sensors.
Due to their nature of consumer devices, Smartphones provide digital and high level
communication interfaces, such as USB and Bluetooth.

Existing System Proposed System

 In existing system, there is device to
monitor the ECG and PPG of a person
in hospitals alone.
 In home the special nurse need for
monitor and take care about the elders.
 In this system, the WBN is designed to
monitor the status of the physical
parameters.
 While monitoring there is data updating
is happened the system will send the
data to the monitoring section.

Drawbacks Advantages
 There is no wireless system for data  They can immediately give recover
transfer. treatment to the patient to save their
 It is not possible without caregivers. life.

 High cost and more time consumption.  It is used in military, sports and
individual purpose.
 Low cost and wireless.
Working Principle:
 In this system, we are going to monitor the ECG and PPG of sports person and individual
also. The ECG, PPG Sensor is also fixed in the fore arms or wrist or chest of that person. The
PIC microcontroller which has inbuilt ADC is used to convert the analog value to digital form.
The status will display in LCD. The status of the sensor’s which placed in the person’s body will
transmit the value to the Monitor section through Bluetooth module. So the user may get real
time updated values in the android mobile with the help of Blueterm app.
