LoRa-based ECG System for Smart City

Abstract

In modern city, wireless sensor networks are easily founded around us. The next generation of sensor networks are low power consumption, low set up cost and large coverage range. In this project, I purposed using a contemporary wireless network, LoRaWAN, to build a health care system. The network aims to monitor the heart electrical activity (ECG or EKG) over a period of time. A heart attack classifier algorithm is used in the end device for providing a real time feedback to the medical server in order to alert the patient family members and the medic when heart attack has been occurred. Since an ailing living condition may cause chest tightness, headaches, other flu- like symptoms. The purposed network is comprehensive, it includes an indoor quality logging for the patient living environment. A temperature and humidity sensor and a dust sensor are integrated into one end node. The monitoring aids giving advice for improving living quality to prevent above symptoms.
