Abstract
During engineering we are supposed to do those engineering projects which are in favor and goodwill of the public. The main difficulty faced by the community is diseases and unhealthy life. More exploration reveals some critical facts and figures about the deadly diseases of the heart. According to WHO (World Health Organization) 17.7 million people died due to heart diseases in 2015 all over the world and 82% of them were in low and middle income countries. In most of cases the disease is not diagnosed in right time to be cured because diagnostic procedures are expensive and complex. An engineer's duty is to remove intricacies and serve his fellow human beings. The main purpose of this project is to design a diagnostic (ECG) machine which should be cheap, easy to use and accessible to common people. Most importantly it reveals accurate information about the heart's condition. Moreover, doctors use ECG machine along with electroencephalogram (EEG) to monitor the conscious level of a patient suffering anesthesia or during any surgical procedure. Diagnosis is most important part of any disease to be cured and via this ECG machine we can interpret the condition of heart's four chambers, and via this information we can contribute towards serving the humanity, help the helpless and save the people in distress.
