Key result
Review summarizes wearable ECG development, focusing on hardware design and signal processing software.
Why the study?
Portable continuous ECG acquisition is an important part of family health care made possible by wearable devices, but a review synthesizing their hardware and software development is needed.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the hardware and software design considerations for wearable ECG devices.
May guide wearable ECG hardware/software design; leaves open prospective clinical validation trials.
With the progress of telecommunication technology, remote acquisition and data analysis have become possible. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the measure of the electrochromic activity of the heart and is an important human body data. Therefore, portable continuous ECG acquisition is an important part of family health care, which can be realized by wearable devices such as smartwatches. This paper aims to review the development of wearable ECG devices from aspects of hardware and software design. In the hardware part, this paper focuses on the design of electrodes that directly receive signals from the human body and the integrated circuit inside the wearable devices. The extraction, process and transmission of the obtained ECG signal are discussed in the software part. This article can provide a reference for those who are interested in understanding wearable ECG technologies or designing new wearable devices.
