A combination of hardware & software system for data acquisition of ECG signal from the finger tip

Abstract

The goal of this project is to generate a very cheap, functional ECG machine made from common parts, most of which can be found around our house. This project is different than the electrocardiograph. This project greatly simplifies the circuitry by eliminating noise reduction components, accomplishing this via software-based data post-processing. The input signal is amplified, noise is removed efficiently and then we got our output signal. From the output signal, number of pulses is counted and is compared with ECG signal. In short, this project will give us the power to visualize and analyse our own heartbeat!
