This paper introduces the concept of an online medical diagnosis system for ubiquitous health care using a wireless ECG sensor. To confirm the feasibility ofthe system, we conducted clinical tests by 67 subjects with a wireless ECG sensor and a Holter ECG monitor simultaneously for comparison purpose. We made five types of evaluations such as analyses on data loss rate, burst data loss length, ECG waveforms comparison, normalized cross-correlation and heart rate variability (HRV) by RR50. The results show that, as long as the sensed data are successfully received at a receiver, the wireless ECG sensor has a comparable performance with the Holter ECG monitor.
