Abstract

The proposed work is based on the design and development of a low-cost biosignal (ECG) simulator by arti?cially constructing standard ECG signal along with multiple arrhythmias that include Brugada syndrome which is considered to be one of the rarest and not present in simulators available in the market. Since Cardiovascular malady is one of the prime causes of death in developed countries, the electrocardiograph (ECG) instrument is considered to be a signi?cant diagnostic device available in the medical ?eld. A standard electrocardiogram consists of the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, QT interval, and U wave. Therefore minute variation in these waves, result in cardiac disorders. By using an ECG simulator, the vital signs of the heart can be simulated to test the equipment before using it in contact with the patient. Typical simulators available in the market make use of stored ECG signals. Therefore, this article examines the construction of ECG signals without storing data using Processing 3 software and Atmega 328P microcontroller.
