Cardiovascular Physiological Signal Acquisition and Emergency Rescue System Design and Development

The Department of Health announced that the heart disease is ranked the second out of the top ten causes of death. The cause of most deaths is that the rescue time of the disease is too short, typically only within a few minutes which usually cannot be completed by medical staffs start from hospital to the emergency scene. Over the past decade of development, the medical device, called AED (Automated External Defibrillator), can do the emergency rescue before the arrival of medical staffs by the general public. AED can be allocated to any public place. When an emergency event occurs, any helper nearby can take an AED to the emergency scene and let the device start automatically. AED can diagnose the specific arrhythmia and give defibrillation shock automatically for the patient with heart disease. The purpose of this study focuses on the design of the ECG data format standard package, ECG signal quality analysis, the design of network protocols for the emergency, and the navigation path from helper to the AED location and then to the patient location. Finally we will implement the emergency rescue system and integrate the system into the whole system designed by other project. The system will be implemented to an Android APP and can be free downloaded for anyone.
