1 Body Gateway device description
The Body Gateway (BGW) Devices is a wearable electronic, battery operated device that is worn on the
chest for the acquisition, recording and transmission of physiological parameters to external devices which
can analyze or forward the data to additional storage elements or system.
The BGW device is also capable to record symptomatic and asymptomatic events and is indicated for
ambulatory monitoring of non lethal cardiac arrhythmias.
Additionally, resident in the Body Gateway device is a heart rate, respiration rate and activity level
calculation algorithm, which allows the system to manage information messages from/to the Server
according to specific settings defined by the physicians/operators.
The device is a part of a Multi-parameter Analysis System, Body Gateway System (BGW system) and
communicates via a BT radio link with the external device. Specification of BGW System is beyond the
scope of this document.
At its heart is a 32-bit ARM Cortex microcontroller with 768 kByte Flash, chosen for its flexible architecture
and low power processing capability. Bluetooth radio was selected for connectivity because its availability in
most commercial mobile phones ensures proper coverage and patient access.
