| Summary: | Stethoscope is a special device to hear heartbeat sound and monitor pulmonary disease. The most type of stethoscope used these days is the acoustic stethoscope. However, the problem with this acoustic stethoscope is the sound level very low. It is hard to analyze the heart sound and difficult to be diagnosed by a medical doctor. Therefore, this project was developed to monitor and display heartbeat sound using wireless digital stethoscope. The condenser microphone is used as a sensor to capture the low sensitivity of heart sound signal and transmit the signal using Antenna Arduino ZigBee Pro Series 1. Microcontroller Arduino Nano and Arduino Mega were used as a platform to process the signal and sent the result to the computer. Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed using MATLAB software to monitor real time electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and for data logging purpose. The result shows that this device able to transmit and receive ECG waveform wirelessly. The ECG signal can be recorded through data logging application for further analysis by the medical personnel. |
