AB  - In this paper, a digital healthcare system has been implemented to monitor electrocardiogram in real-time using implantable cardiac monitor based on infrared communication. In the implantable cardiac monitor, an ultra-low power modulation using LED pulse has been applied so it can maximize operating time under limited battery capacity. The optical receiver outside the body transmits the received bio-signal to the Android terminal using short-range wireless communication technology. The electrocardiogram data collected remotely is diagrammed and used in an Android device and a server so the system can detect health abnormalities through various signal processing methods. The proposed real-time electrocardiogram monitoring system has been verified with a hardware prototype.
