Does a low cost mobile ECG monitoring device using two active dry electrodes provide equivalent ECG quality compared to 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.
May expand access to continuous ECG monitoring; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
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.
