Heart To Go: Turning a Commodity Smartphone into a Mobile Cardiovascular Diseases Real-Time Monitoring Apparatus
Allen C. Cheng, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Pittsburgh
Cardiovascular disease is the world’s largest killer, accounting for 30 percent of global deaths. In the United States alone, 2,400 Americans die of CVD each day and 20 million annual deaths from CVD are projected by 2015. Diagnosing and monitoring CVD is a significant problem for populations that do not have ready access to modern medical facilities, but some cutting-edge tools are helping to bridge the gap. The Heart To Go program constructs mobile CVD monitors on commodity smartphones that acquire, record, transmit, process, and display ECG data in real time. It can implement an efficient ECG processing module capable of dynamically extracting diagnosis features from acquired ECG signals. Designing an on-phone, online CVD diagnosis module capable of detecting cardiac abnormalities and matching them with possible CVD conditions. It develops a laymen-friendly reporting module capable of generating an individualized diagnosis report for timely alerts and clinical assessments.
