Abstract

In this project, we are designing a prototype model of a low cost wireless portable and integrated cardio – pulmonary device. The design of the device will be such that it integrates the various emergency cardio and pulmonary functions that are required to save a person's life during an emergency. The prototype model involves the integration of two basic cardio-pulmonary devices such as Electrocardiograph (ECG) and Pulse – Oximeter. The design the can be later expanded to include other cardio- pulmonary devices into it.

Pulse Oximeter is a cardio pulmonary device which measures the blood oxygen saturation. The Electrocardiograph is a device which measures the rate and regularity of heart beats, size and position of chambers, damage to the heart and the effects of any drug on the heart.The integrated device will be connected to a wireless internet so doctors can control the device from the hospital as well data can be received from the device. This will help in reducing the delay taken to Provide treatment to the patient as delay required to obtain information about the patient is minimized. The device tries to reduce the cost by using a laptop as the screen, using a common processor board which is capable of doing all the functions instead of having an individual board for each function.
