Associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Akron, Kye-Shin Lee, started the project in collaboration with Masoud Nazari, a doctoral student in Akron after receiving funding from the National Institute of Health.
In Ohio, 30,658 people died of heart failure in 2021, positioning the state on the top 7 in the CDC’s Heart Disease Mortality by state. “Our main research focus is on integrated circuits. So, we think that if we use the integrated circuit technology on health care devices, we think we can get a better performance and then also we can make the device low power in a small area,” Lee said.
“We record the ECG while the person is doing a routine work, like using the computer…walking or running and sleeping,” Lee said. “And for most of the motions, the research was pretty good. We observe that for different motions, our circuit can properly eliminate the motion artifacts.” Lee said the device not only will last longer than conventional ECG devices, but the production could be low-cost. With a higher volume of production, the price of the device would go down. The estimate to make these devices, with a high production volume, would be under $100.
