Microcontroller based Electrocardiography System with Adaptive Baseline Wander Removal

Abstract

In this paper an affordable, user-friendly, and re-programmable electrocardiography system is presented. The proposed system is based on open-source Arduino/Genuino platform which can be re-programmed and up-graded as per the requirement of the end user. This system has the facility to display, store and share the acquired data via internet with a cardiologist, for the remote assistance. The proposed system is equipped with an adaptive median filter based baseline wander removal algorithm (AMF-BWR), implemented on microcontroller.
