IoT based Low Power Wearable ECG Monitoring System

Conclusion: We have proposed a wireless wearable ECG monitoring system enabled with an IoT platform that integrates heterogeneous nodes of ECG sensor and applications, has a long battery life and provides a high-quality ECG signal. The system allows monitoring single/multiple patients on a relatively large indoor area (home, building, nursing home, etc). As observed, this result is obtained through a careful set of choices at the level of components, circuit solutions, and algorithms. We would like to stress the fact that a dedicated overall output is not enough to achieve an advantage in terms of overall sensor performance. The latter depends on the optimization of the whole sensor. Indeed, this proposed ECG sensor, based on a high-performance ADC and an arm processor, provides much better performance, in terms of power consumption and noise, than many proposed system based on a purposely designed front-end chip.
