A Portable and Low Cost Solution for EMG using ZigBee,GPRS and Internet to Biomedical applications

Diego Silva, Roberto Sato, Agostinho Castro
  • Abstract:
    This paper presents a prototype of an acquisition board of electromyographic signals (EMG); an embedded portable, wireless and low cost solution. The system is composed of an EMG acquisition board, Zigbee modules and a device named GPRSx. After acquiring the EMG signal, it is sent through ZigBee wireless technology to GPRSx device. The GPRSx device sends the EMG signal to a server on the Internet by using GPRS wireless technology. Thus, the EMG signal is displayed in a graph on a remote computer. The results are very promising and may serve as a reference in studies for the biomedical area.
