OpenECGproject: Make “ECG Machine” as Biomedical Project

ECG

The openECGproject is an online community conceived around a simple, but challenging and worthy goal – to develop an open source hardware and software solution for electrocardiography.

This is essentially a playground designed for people of different backgrounds to put their minds together and create something that could make a difference in this world. It started as an itch that needed scratching, so Dr. Ivor Kovic (external link) initiated this community with high hopes that people who can make this vision come true will join and contribute to the project.

Important Physiological Signals in the body

Introduction

The body produces various physiological signals. The accessibility to these signals is important because

(1) they can be internal (blood pressure)
(2) they may emanate from the body (infrared radiation)
(3) they may be derived from a tissue sample (blood or tissue biopsy)
All physiological signals can be grouped into the following categories –

(1)biopotential
(2) pressure
(3) flow
(4)dimensions( for example : imaging)
(5)displacement (such as velocity, force, andacceleration)
(6) impedence
(7) temperature
(8) chemical concentration and composition.

Short Note on Biotelemetry System

Some times, it become essential to monitor physiological events from a distant place.
Some of such situations are:
(a) Monitoring of astronauts during flight.
(b) Monitoring of patients in ambulance while transit to hospital.
(c) Monitoring of patients while obtaining their exercise electrocardiogram.
(d) Monitoring of patients who are permitted to stay away from the hospital.
(e) Monitoring of animals in their natural habitat.
(f) Transmission of ECG or other medical information through telephone links
(g) Isolating the patients from electricity operated measuring equipment such as ECG equipment inorder to prevent any accidental shock to them.

“Local Healthcare R&D:The Need of the Hour ” Pulse of the Biomedical Market

What should Biomedical Engineering Students do now. They are busy in making projects which have long names but only little bit of innovation which serves the cause of improving healthcare. If this is the case . How will the technology develop?

What the Industry is looking after now?

What shall a Biomedical Engineer do to get good jobs?

How does one win over emerging markets like Asia? This is an inevitable question asked by most leaders of medical device companies who are planning growth strategies. Let’s try answering it. Like any market, emerging markets want product innovations relevant to their local healthcare needs. Local experience is an essential aspect for achieving this.
