Abstract
This paper proposes a portable electrocardiograph and smart device-based heart health monitoring and risk notification system. The proposed system consists of a portable electrocardiograph and a smart device for a system user, and a web-based monitoring system for observers. This system can improve the convenience and efficiency of measurement by using a light-weight portable electrocardiograph and a smart device. In addition, any authorized person such as caregiver or family member who is not related to medical institution can monitor users'heart health in real-time using the web-based monitoring system. Therefore, a user and authorized remote observers can efficiently monitor and manage user's heart health in daily-life even without any medical institution's help, and can preemptively deal with any possible dangerous situations, such as degeneration of a cardiac disorder and sudden cardiac death.
