Diseño e implementación de un electrocardiógrafo de bajo costo en una plataforma Open Source.

Abstract

This project includes the design and implementation of an electrocardiograph built from an Arduino microcontroller with open programming code in C ++ language, this device will allow to record, store and present the cardiac signal represented by the PQRST complex on a 2.8 screen. inches and to be able to analyze it in a file or on a printed sheet, the PLX DAQ application will be used in the Excel development environment, in the same way it can be registered and stored under the Iots platform (Internet of things) known as Ubidots, as long as When the latency of the link allows it, this will serve to diagnose some type of heart condition by a health professional. Due to the reduced costs of the components, the prototype is aimed at the population with limited economic resources, who are cared for in medical centers with little affordability of biomedical equipment, in the same way, medical personnel and health providers who do not have these equipment for the timely diagnosis of heart disease. This research is classified as a feasible project, the same one that uses a descriptive, synthetic analytical and bibliographic methodology, with a quantitative, qualitative approach. The process comprises first the design of the prototype of an electrocardiograph according to the objectives set, the controller is developed, the second stage consists of performing calibration and tests. The feasibility of the implementation of the project is based on the fact that it has the necessary resources: electronic cards, Arduino micro controller cards for the acquisition of the AD8232 cardiac signal, the connection with Wi-Fi through the ESP8266 whose costs are accessible, being able to obtain locally, the code for programming is open and access to the cloud by Ubidots is open and trial.
