Bluetooth is used as the data connection. Once acquired, the signal is graphed on the display of the smartphone. A basis of physiology behind the ECG is presented. The data acquisition system and the performance of the ECG amplification and supporting circuits are analyzed.application/pdfengAndroidECGSmartphoneBluetooththesis2012-08-132152/ETD-UT-2012-05-5461
