DESIGN OF A WI-FI-ENABLED ECG DEVICE FOR TELEMEDICINE AND AMBULATORY MONITORING IN A ROBOTIC PLATFORM

Abstract

This article presents a robotic platform integrated with a Wi-Fi-enabled ECG device designed for telemedicine and ambulatory monitoring. The advancement of portable and wearable ECG monitoring systems remains a key focus in the development of health-related technologies. An ECG device is a critical medical tool used to record the electrical activity of the heart over a specified period, playing a vital role in diagnosing heart diseases and monitoring cardiovascular health. Our objective is to develop a new generation of robotic tools that enhance healthcare and patient management. Specifically, we aim to design an innovative Wi-Fi-enabled ECG device for non-invasive heart rhythm monitoring, capable of receiving, storing, visualizing, and transmitting high-quality electrocardiographic signals remotely. This device enables comprehensive ECG analysis and continuous patient monitoring while seamlessly integrating with other diagnostic and therapeutic functions within the robotic platform's operational framework. A key feature of the proposed device is its ability to detect and promptly alert users to abnormal heart rhythms, making it highly effective for telemedicine and ambulatory care. One of its most notable innovations is the incorporation of the MAX30003 chipset, which facilitates real-time ECG monitoring in portable and wearable systems suitable for both remote medical consultations and personal health tracking. Looking ahead, the system is designed to evolve toward autonomous functionality. Unlike other similar devices, innovative solutions related to the construction and connections of the ECG with the Robotic System are presented here. The research team has extensive experience in surgical robotics, and this development builds upon previous work in the field.
