This product proposes a personal health guardian: heart health management system and platform with electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and cardiac disease detection. The system includes front-end IoT-based hardware, a user interface on the smart device’s application (APP), a cloud database, and an AI platform for cardiac disease detection. The front-end IoT-based hardware, a wearable ECG patch with an analog front-end circuit and a Bluetooth module, can detect ECG signals. The APP on smart devices can not only display users’ real-time ECG signals but also label unusual signals instantly and reach real-time disease detection. These ECG signals will be uploaded to the cloud database. The cloud database is used to store each user’s ECG signals, which forms a big-data database for AI algorithms to detect cardiac disease. The classification categories of this model are based on the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard to fit the FDA/TFDA regulation and the average accuracy is more than 98.32%. The ECG dataset applied in this product is collected from patients in Tainan Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare. Moreover, signal verification was also performed by a cardiologist. The main advantages of this system are real-time monitoring, convenience for wear, and ease of use. This patch has been approved by TFDA (ID: 008050)( https://lmspiq.fda.gov.tw/web/MDPIQ/MDPIQ1000Result?licBaseId=1B7F2D5D-CDCC-4532-84BE-DCF74E65E687 ) with QMS2183. The service iOS APP (https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/yuguard/id6469807344 ) also provides anytime and anywhere arrhythmia monitoring. These can achieve home heart disease care, assist clinics in diagnosing heart diseases, and provide remote heart disease consultations, solving current medical dilemmas and achieving the goal of public health.

「YuGuard: Wireless and wearable arrhythmia identification patch」is a wireless physiological detection chip system designed for real-time ECG monitoring. It utilizes advanced physiological detection chips and Bluetooth transmission technology. It promotes the『Medical Electronics Garden』plan to start from communities, clinics, and homes, using the concept of consumer medical devices to miniaturize, wireless, smart, and democratize medical devices. Collecting users' health big data through a mobile platform can provide reports and alerts at any time. Combined with cloud AI and professional doctors for analysis and diagnosis, linking heart disease patients and medical institutions across Taiwan, ensuring that communities, clinics, and homes have the care quality of medical centers, achieving the goals of regular prevention and immediate rescue.
