A bipolar mini-ECG for ubiquitous healthcare (U-ECG) has been introduced, and various studies using the U-ECG device are in progress. Because it uses two electrodes within a small torso surface area, the design of the U-ECG must be suitable for detecting ECG signals. Using a 3-D model of cardiac electrophysiology, we have developed a simulation method for identifying the optimal placement of U-ECG electrodes on the torso surface. We simulated the heart-torso model to obtain a body surface potential map and ECG waveforms, which were compared with the empirical data. Using this model, we determined the optimal placement of the two U-ECG electrodes, spaced 5 cm apart, for detecting the P, R, and T waves. The ECG data, obtained using the optimal U-ECG placement for a specific wave, showed a clear shape for the target wave, but equivocal shapes for the other waves. The present study provides an …
