Heart Rate and ECG Wireless Monitoring Techniques: A Survey

Abstract

Body health monitoring is so important to us for ensure that our health is in an excellent case. The systems for Health monitoring are a new subject and significant research scope nowadays. There are many significant vital parameters in the health observing systems, Heart Rate (HR) is one of the most important signs of these parameter to be monitor; it is a vital indicator of people’s physiological state. Monitoring of heart rate oftentimes includes high costs and complex application of sensors and its systems. Therefore to cover this needed it must advance systems that are able to measure HR and ECG systems for the purpose of monitoring. This paper focuses on reviewing the monitoring of the heart rate systems with the uses of a fingertip sensor and electrocardiogram other remote technologies. More than forty of the heart rate measuring and observing systems and Electrocardiogram systems have reviewed and grouped into two groups one for heart rate and the other for wearable ECG, presented its features and common specifications for each of them, resulting from this review that the authors have focused on designing systems that can be optimum choice for illness people which they have needed to be continuous monitoring. The systems are acceptable error rate and some of them allow the user to freely move based on the wireless technology, the systems easy for usage by the patient or elder people and with a suitable cost. Also, this paper presents security, personality, reliability of systems and the quality of the signal.
