Diseño e implementación de un prototipo de electrocardiógrafo móvil utilizando redes móviles para monitorización de la frecuencia cardiaca en tiempo real.

Abstract

Cardiac issues are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, contributing to a significant number of hospitalizations and premature deaths. Early detection and heart monitoring are essential to prevent serious complications and improve the prognosis for patients with cardiac problems. Therefore, this research aims to develop a prototype of a mobile electrocardiograph to monitor the heart effortlessly, allowing the information in a database accessible via the internet and mobile networks. The methodology used traditional methods to manufacture a device capable of capturing the heart’s electrical signals, which are then transmitted to an Android smartphone using Bluetooth technology. This data is managed by an application developed in the Kotlin programming language and subsequently sent to a Firebase database. Finally, this information is interpreted using a webpage developed in HTML, through this methodology, a prototype was successfully produced that is capable of obtaining the graphical representation of the heart’s electrical activity. In this context, a prototype and a system were created that allow real-time monitoring, determination of abnormal heart behaviors, uploading information to a database, and access to this information using the internet.
