Background:
This study brings innovation oriented to the development of e-health services to improve the performance of healthcare and hospital care in free-living activities.
Objective:
This article seeks to propose an innovative mobile software that enables the contextualization of clinical data, while integrating the fundamental functionalities and usability criteria of a mobile health (mhealth) system.
Methods:
We examine the utility of a context-sensitive mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) collection system for the detection of cardiovascular diseases for patients in free-living conditions.
Results:
We propose an mhealth system that reinforces conventional healthcare systems in which electronic health records are limited by access and processing of data, limiting clinical-medical decision-making. This study highlights the importance of mobile applications for self-care and their usefulness for both patients and healthcare providers. The proposal offers an avenue for the study of contextualized ECG collection methods that can be used to create context-specific actions that reduce false alarms in computer-aided diagnosis of ambulatory ECG.
Conclusion:
Mobile applications for health care and monitoring improve the quality of life of people with cardiovascular diseases.

01:28Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
