The main objective of this paper is to propose the
design of a sensor interface for gathering biosignal. This signal
is acquired from the patient’s body by the ECG sensor. The
interface includes the instrumentation amplifier, bandpass filter,
notch filter and the gain amplifier for improving the weak signal
captured from the human body. The interface designed is
intended to be used in supporting remote monitoring devices for
the patients living in areas with limited access to medical
assistance or scarce clinical resources especially in rural areas.
The patient monitoring systems are expected to use the
GSM/GPRS network directly through GSM/GPRS modem
instead of using additional devices like Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA). Since, the network is currently available in remote area
for access. The design is helpful to improve people’s quality of
life, as well as to allow an improvement in the government
attendance indices.
