Real-Time Arrhythmia Detection Using NI LabVIEW and Sending Notification via SIM800L GSM Module

Abstract

It is well-known that in case of cardiovascular diseases an early diagnosis is one of the vital role to prevent the deaths. Although there are many devices and applications to diagnose the diseases, most of them are either too expensive or an expert is required to use it. The aim of the current study is measuring the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the human-body in real-time, processing these signals simultaneously via LabVIEW and by calculating heart rate of a patient using Teager Energy method, detecting tachycardia and bradycardia arrhythmias. Therefore, using an Arduino UNO and SIM800L GSM module, the information of a patient regarding abnormality of his/her heart beats could be sent to a his/her relative or a doctor. With this new low cost and simple application, an arrythmia could be immediately detected and one can intervene the patient on time.
