Electrocardiogram Detection System of Autistic Children Based on AD8232 for Healthcare

This study is to design and test an early detection tool based on the AD8232 sensor as an ECG detection system. This system is applied to autistic children. Potentially hyperactive autistic children may increase their heart rate suddenly compared to normal children. Through a system that can detect heart conditions can help experts who deal with ECG problems in autistic children. This system is applied to autistic children by using components that are arranged in such a way as to be easy to use for autistic children. With the help of three electrodes attached to the child’s body, namely on the hands and chest, in a test period of 2500 ms. Utilization of the AD8232 sensor and other components can produce heartbeat waves of autistic children. Based on testing by filtering and segmenting, the signal recording results when the electrodes are attached to the hand there is interference from excessive movement. Whereas when the electrode is attached to the chest, it produces a stable signal because the movements made do not affect the electrode during the test. Thus, the use of electrodes on the chest is more appropriate because the sensor can record signals properly.
