An Approach to Wireless ECG Monitoring

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a critical diagnostic tool widely used for assessing cardiac health. The standard 12-lead ECG setup requires the placement of 10 electrodes on the patient's body, which is a time-consuming process prone to placement errors and discomfort. The multitude of cables not only complicates electrode attachment but also restricts patient mobility, as the system is often tethered to a large unit that must be carried during monitoring. This setup limits the effectiveness of continuous monitoring and increases patient inconvenience. Consequently, there is a significant need for more efficient, error-resistant, and patient-friendly ECG monitoring solutions that maintain diagnostic accuracy while improving ease of use and mobility. This paper presents a new on-body ECG monitoring system that uses the EASI electrode configuration and wireless data transfer. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional 12-lead ECGs, improving ease of use and patient mobility while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.
