A WBAN based cableless ECG acquisition system.

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) based 3-lead cableless electrocardiography (ECG) acquisition system is described. To enable truly cableless ECG monitoring, a new ECG measurement configuration and method that acquires ECG signals at individual lead locations referenced to a localized ground is proposed. The synthesized ECG signals are evaluated against the standard wired 3-lead configuration on the same test subject.
