A web-based system for real-time ECG monitoring using MySQL database and DigiMesh technology: design and implementation.

Abstract

In today's world, rapid advancements in wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies hold the potential to revolutionize healthcare through future ubiquitous patient monitoring systems. Essential for continuous monitoring without restricting patient mobility, these systems comprise wearable or implanted sensors continuously tracking physiological parameters. Enabling seamless patient-doctor interaction, they monitor and transmit patient physiological data. This project involves designing an ECG monitoring system utilizing DigiMesh technology for wireless transmission to a remote device. Patient data is stored in the IoT-cloud via a MySQL database, enabling real-time remote monitoring by medical staff. The sensor node processes ECG data, transmitted to the Sink Node, and the MySQL database facilitates data storage. Utilizing a web-based system accessible on all devices, the proposed monitoring system displays ECG results, reports, and patient information. The goal is to create a reliable, cost-effective, low-power vital signs monitoring system transmitting various body parameters wirelessly to medical professionals. In hospitals, continuous monitoring is crucial for patients requiring extended medical care, ensuring constant surveillance even in non-emergency situations.
