Microcontroller Based ECG Arrhythmia Biosimulator for Testing ECG Machines

Abstract

In this research the design and development of Micro-controller based ECG simulator intended to use in testing, calibration and maintenance of ECG machines. The idea of our project is firstly taking up and ECG signal which downloaded from physionet. Then the signal is saved in a memory card after processing it by using MATLAB. After that the signal was display on an oscilloscope using an Arduino UNO board. The signal which displayed on oscilloscope is that used to testing or calibrating ECG machine. Since standard commercially available electronic components were used to construct the prototype simulator, the proposed design was also relatively inexpensive to produce.
