EKGeezy

Inspiration

We wanted to build a portable machine that was able to take ECG signals from home for people who may have prospective heart conditions

What it does

Sends values to a React Native applcation from an Arduino Nano with real time data streams of their ECG signals

How we built it

We used VSC for development of the front end, An arduino Nano hardware component, and utilized the Nano's BLE capabilities to send signals from the device to the phone application

Challenges we ran into

BLE was incredibly challenging to get the bits and endianess from the Arduino Nano correctly read

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We implemented a hardware and software component in a 24 hour hackathon!

What we learned

Dependencies dictate how the project will go

What's next for EKGeezy

We want to further iterate on this project by hopefully implementing photodiodes for additional dehydration sensing, and to implement a differential ampilifier, notch filter, and butterworth low pass filter to further improve the accuracy of our ECG sensor
