This is potential new open source project started by one of the olimex customers Scott Anderson. Anyone is welcome to help and contribute
Concept
There are several home ECG systems, these appear to cost over $150 USD and only provide a single ECG trace which is measured between finger tips. The finger tip measurement is prone to muscle action noise from the action of holding. They also are unable to monitor over a long period when the user is performing normal daily tasks.
A home ECG may show early warning signs to a user to identify to them that they should get a formal check from a doctor.
Rare or occasional heart events can also be captured over the day and print outs could be taken to a doctor.
Several other open projects for ECGs were found however none found could be purchased.
Goal
Develop a device which can provide good quality home ECG measurement for less than 60EUR.
The following functions would be present
3 wire measurement
Logging over a full day (24 hour)
Lipo battery powered with enough charge to run for 24 hours
charging over USB
logged data transfer over USB
flashing LED during each pulse for user feedback
small size to allow system to be wearable
potential functions
wireless connection option (bluetooth) for real time monitoring using a phone / tablet
blood oxygenation measurement option. Potential logging to help diagnose sleep apnia issues
