MOBILE CARDIAC TELEMETRY SYSTEM FOR ISOLATED IMMUNOSUPPRESSED PATIENTS

This article represents an experiment for a portable open-source ECG monitoring system, purposed for isolated immunosuppressed patients, with heart conditions. At the current stage of development, the proposed experimental MCT (Mobile Cardiac Telemetry) system can be wirelessly used in conjunction with a smart phone and a real-time graph streaming application, through the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) module of an IoT embedded platform. At the moment, the system is intended for autonomous low power consumption and short wireless proximity range suited for close monitoring of patients by themselves at home, or by the medical staff in the isolated hospital ward rooms or mobile isolation containters.
