Since our device is designed for a preliminary diagnosis, and the data will be analyzed by a software, the data do not need all the detail and signal cleanliness that humans need. These equipments are designed to be highly reliable with a clean signal. The device will consist in a main board with the processing power (like the STM32F407G-DISC1) the electronics to read the ECG signal and a small screen to show the results of the analysis.Ĭurrently real ECG equipment is heavy and expensive. In order to solve the problem we are building a small portable device, based on low-cost parts. Even doctors could improve the effiency of their time in low-income countries, where every minute counts.Īlso, in middle to high-income countries, this device would be usefull to allow people get a preliminary diagnosis and encouraging the visit to the doctor in case of some detection, preventing from some avoidable deaths. This device would allow people with a preliminary diagnosis. The aim of this project is to do a first prototype of a functional and cost-effective device that can detect different heart patologies. In these conditions the people develop heart deseases that can be fatal if not treated properly in the early stages of the disease. According to the World Health Organization, the main cause of death in the lower-middle-income countries are related to heart disease, even in the middle to high-income countries, are in the top three.Īlthough, the high-income countries have access to medical care, control and treatment, in the developing countries this access is limited and expensive.
