title: Wearable patient monitoring application (ECG) using wireless sensor networks.
abstract: In this paper, we discuss a design for a wearable electrocardiograph device constructed with small, low-powered "mote" sensors for use in wireless sensor networks. A wearable, wireless three-lead electrocardiograph sensor module is utilized and the initial tests are presented that illustrate the viability of this design. This device can be integrated into a suite of wearable wireless sensors used for patient monitoring and other applications.
