ABSTRACT:
This paper discusses a personalized
heart monitoring system using smart phones and wireless (bio) sensors. We
combine ubiquitous computing with mobile health technology to monitor the
wellbeing of high risk cardiac patients. The smart phone analyses in real time
the ECG data and determines whether the person needs external help. We focus on
two life threatening arrhythmias: Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular
Tachycardia (VT).
The smart phone can automatically
alert the ambulance and pre assigned caregivers when a VF/VT arrhythmia is
detected. The system can be personalized to the needs and requirements of the
patient. It can be used to give advice (e.g. exercise more) or to reassure the
patient when the bio-sensors and environmental data are within predefined
ranges.
