Heart Rate and ECG Wireless Monitoring Techniques: A Survey

Abstract

Body health monitoring is so important to us forensure that our health is in an excellent case. The systemsfor Health monitoring are a new subject and significantresearch scope nowadays. There are many significantvital parameters in the health observing systems, HeartRate (HR) is one of the most important signs of theseparameter to be monitor; it is a vital indicator of people’sphysiological state. Monitoring of heart rate oftentimesincludes high costs and complex application of sensorsand its systems. Therefore to cover this needed it mustadvance systems that are able to measure HR and ECGsystems for the purpose of monitoring. This paper focuseson reviewing the monitoring of the heart rate systemswith the uses of a fingertip sensor and electrocardiogramother remote technologies. More than forty of the heartrate measuring and observing systems andElectrocardiogram systems have reviewed and groupedinto two groups one for heart rate and the other forwearable ECG, presented its features and commonspecifications for each of them, resulting from this reviewthat the authors have focused on designing systems thatcan be optimum choice for illness people which they haveneeded to be continuous monitoring. The systems areacceptable error rate and some of them allow the user tofreely move based on the wireless technology, thesystems easy for usage by the patient or elder people andwith a suitable cost. Also, this paper presents security,personality, reliability of systems and the quality of thesignal.
