WARNING:
Commercial and clinical ECG devices must live up to certain standards. This is good, since it provides a measure of protection for a user or patient. Obviously, we cannot provide such guarantees.everything is provided as is, without any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.In other words, if you decide to build and use one -- the responsibility is yours.
Therefore, a device based on any of these designs may not be used for medical purposes as no medical claims are made. Note that CONNECTING A DEVICE VIA ELECTRODES TO HUMANS OR ANIMALS IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK AND/OR SEIZURE.
Finally, the authors do not guarantee that the information provided in the design files is complete or appropriate for any particular application.
Project Goal
The goal of this project is to generate an extremely cheap, functional ECG machine made from common parts, most of which can be found around your house. This do-it-yourself (DIY) ECG project is different than many others on the internet in that it greatly simplifies the circuitry by eliminating noise reduction components, accomplishing this via software-based data post-processing.
Current Status:one time only.

To develop an open source, low cost, and clinically functional electrocardiography solution.
Our goals
The ultimate goal is to produce a 12-lead PC-based ECG with interpretive software.
The road to it might follow this path:
1. Develop a 3-lead PC-based ECG, including both hardware and non-interpretive software. 2. Develop software versions for various operating systems like Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux. 3. Subsequently progress towards a 12-lead PC-based ECG with interpretive software.
Additional goals
1. Design versions for handheld devices 2. Develop wireless ECG device
