The main objective of the system is to implement a portable ECG recorder, for monitoring the ECG signals during emergency situations at home. Various Parameters like Temperature, Blood pressure, pulse rate can also be monitored whenever required. Heart related disease is among top ten causes of peoples death. People can lose life even if the heart is malfunction only for a short time. This helps us to identify the cardiovascular disease as early as possible and earlier treatment could be given by the Physician. There were several researches using wireless technology to monitor the ECG. They used special hand-held device. Recently smart phone is getting popular. Android is an open source operating system .Google as released Software Development Kit (SDK) to help programmers developing application program. In this project, we developed an APP which is running on the Android based smart phone. The smart phone is multipurpose embedded system. It is one of the personal belongings that we will bring with us most of the time. For the patient with heart disease, it can be used to monitor the heart condition. Sometimes the heart problem only occurs intermittently. When we go to hospital for examination, the symptom has disappeared. This symptom may be precursor of a more serious heart problem. If the symptom can be recognized in its early stage, the more serious heart problem may be avoided. However, the computing power and memory resources are limited in the handset. When the user thinks that the data needs to be reserved for further investigation , they can transfer the ECG data to the personal computer (PC).
