Summary/Abstract: The cardiovascular heart diseases are one of the most common causes of leading to death of man. Unfortunately, the symptoms vary and the most common reason for critical delays in medical treatment is lack of early warning and patient unawareness. In this paper, we present a development of the mobile application for Electrocardiogram measurements based on communication with a smart clothing using Bluetooth. The objectives of the application are a wireless data collection and analysis of ECG signal. The analysis is aimed for precise detection of QRS complex parameters plus detection of P-wave and T-wave. Measurement and evaluation of multiple PQRST parameters in a series allows detection of anomalies which leads to different heart diseases. Early warning system can help to make preventive actions to avoid severe heart disease. The recorded data are exported to format of the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database to be compatible with the professional medical software. This program will be devoted to the purposes of research and home healthcare instead of clinical diagnosis.
