Real-Time ECG Arrhythmia Classifier
Real-Time ECG Arrhythmia Classifier Kit: Turn Your Arduino Portenta H7 into a Medical AI Device
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Step into the frontier of edge AI and medical electronics with this intensive project kit. You’ll build a portable, battery-operable device that acquires high-fidelity ECG signals at 500 Hz using the AD8232 front-end, then runs a TensorFlow Lite 1D convolutional neural network on the Arduino Portenta H7’s M7 core to classify Normal Sinus Rhythm, Atrial Fibrillation, and Premature Ventricular Contractions — all in real time, without cloud connectivity. The M4 core simultaneously refreshes a vivid TFT waveform display and triggers an audible alarm on detecting arrhythmia, while logging timestamped episodes to an SD card. By the end, you’ll hold a compact, clinically-inspired prototype ready for academic demonstration or rapid health-tech validation.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a self-contained ECG classifier that continuously monitors a single-lead heart signal, rendering the PQRST waveform and rhythm label on a 2.4‑inch ILI9341 screen. The device sounds a buzzer the instant AFib or PVC is identified, stores every event with DS3231-verified timestamps on a microSD, and powers from a standard 5‑volt supply. Everything mounts inside the supplied enclosure, giving you a rugged, lab‑ready instrument that connects via electrode patches to a real person within minutes.
What You'll Learn
- Capturing biopotential signals with the AD8232 and designing analog front‑end filters for pristine ECG acquisition
- Training, quantizing, and deploying a 1D‑CNN in TensorFlow Lite Micro for on‑device cardiac rhythm classification
- Dual‑core programming on Arduino Portenta H7: dedicating the M7 core to ML inference while the M4 core handles display, buzzer, RTC, and SD logging
- Integrating RTC, TFT, buzzer, and storage modules under real‑time constraints — the foundation of any medical embedded system

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit targets final‑year B.Tech (ECE/EEE/BME) students building their capstone project, participants in Smart India Hackathon or similar national innovation contests, and postgraduate researchers at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS prototyping AI‑driven medical devices. If you already have experience with Arduino and basic machine learning, this project will elevate your skills into real‑time embedded AI for healthcare, culminating in a publication‑ready demonstrator.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion from the QR code; it will diagnose symptoms like a blank screen or noisy signal and give corrective steps. If needed, WhatsApp our support and we’ll debug with you within hours.
Is the dual‑core Portenta H7 programming too complex?
Not with our guide. We provide a pre‑compiled project skeleton that launches the M7 inference loop and M4 UI task simultaneously, and the AI companion walks you through flashing each core. You’ll spend most of your time understanding, not debugging.
Can this kit serve as a baseline for a research paper?
Yes. The real‑time classification
AD8232 ECG at 500Hz on M7. TFLite 1D-CNN classifies NSR, AFib, PVC in real time. M4 drives display and alarm.
