DIY ECG/EKG Electrocardiogram
I needed an ECG but faced long wait times to see a specialist. I decided to build a DIY ECG device using the AD8232 ECG module and an ESP32-S3 dev module with an LCD screen. After some tinkering, I was able to build a device that read ECG data and displayed it on a screen. I also added a feature to detect the frequency of the ECG data and calculate heart rate via the RR interval in realtime on a browser through websocket.
