A low-cost mobile ECG monitoring device using active dry electrodes provided ECG quality equivalent to that of standard wet Ag/AgCl electrodes.
Does a low cost mobile ECG monitoring device using two active dry electrodes provide equivalent ECG quality compared to wet Ag/AgCl electrodes?
A newly developed low-cost mobile ECG device using active dry electrodes provides signal quality equivalent to standard wet electrodes, potentially facilitating long-term monitoring.
Mobile electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring provides crucial information about the cardiac rhythm and system anomaly helping doctors to efficiently diagnose heart diseases. This paper presents the development of a low cost mobile ECG monitoring device, which early warms abnormalities throughout long-term ECG observation. For user convenience, two active dry electrodes are used as touch sensors. A buffer circuit is applied to remove the over-sensitivity effect of the electrodes. Experimental results indicated that ECG quality when using active dry electrodes is equivalent to that of wet Ag/AgCl electrodes application.
Le et al. (Fri,) conducted a other in Heart diseases. Low cost mobile ECG monitoring device using two active dry electrodes vs. Wet Ag/AgCl electrodes was evaluated on ECG quality. A low-cost mobile ECG monitoring device using active dry electrodes provided ECG quality equivalent to that of standard wet Ag/AgCl electrodes.
