Inspiration

We were inspired by the ever-growing biomedical engineering industry and we wanted to create a project related to that field while utilizing our electrical engineering knowledge.

What it does

Our product captures an electrical image of the heart, particularly involving the PQRS complex. The product also incorporates a Bluetooth interface to a remote computer for further data analysis. The device also emits a auditory signal on a buzzer corresponding to heart rate (or flat line conditions).

How we built it

We planned out our design by first creating a detailed block diagram as well as some written pseudo code. Then, we implemented each of our desired features one by one hardware, firmware, and software-wise.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into includes handling noise, maintaining a common ground, and handling the different voltage potentials of different people's bodies.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud we achieved a low-noise wireless EKG.

What we learned

We learned how to creatively combine our IoT knowledge with a practical biomedical device. Hardware-wise, we learned how to record biomedical signals using a combined analog and digital system.

What's next for SparkMed

More hackathons and more complex projects!
