Secure Real Time Web Based Electrocardiogram Monitoring System for Improved Healthcare

Web based electrocardiogram monitoring facilitates real time monitoring of patients' records anytime from anywhere. In present system of web based electrocardiogram monitoring, the electrocardiogram signals can be monitored only instantaneously and no permanent storage of medical records in web server is done. Also maintenance of medical records in paper or in CD's may lead to data corruption or data being lost. For detecting electrocardiogram characteristics this proposed work gives design of a total portable package for low cost embedded electrocardiogram measurement and monitoring system. This proposed system interfaced with computer network system to monitor the electrical activity of the patients' heart more easily and precisely for diagnosing heart diseases. The electrocardiogram is hosted in the website using patients' unique identification. Separate login is given for the patients and the doctor. Hence, it is become possible for the doctors to examine the patients' condition without being physically present near to the patient's bed and the patients need not to carry his medical records wherever he travels to the hospital. Also, the security of the medical records is enhanced in this work by using fingerprint authentication and the https protocol.
