Abstract:
This paper presents a computerised low-cost electrocardiograph system for application in low-income communities. The system hardware is connected to the serial port of an IBM-PC microcomputer, and integrated with a multimedia software, which controls the acquisition process, manages patient data, provides information on heart disease prevention, and performs an automatic analysis of the electrocardiogram signals. The main objective is to provide a screening diagnosis of patients with heart diseases, forwarding them to a specialist to further analyses.
