Electrocardiography (ECG) serves as a vital diagnostic instrument in cardiology, necessitating a thorough grasp of cardiac electrophysiology and the interpretation of waveforms. Traditional ECG education based on didactic lectures and static textbook graphics may not engage learners effectively or promote in-depth comprehension and skill acquisition. This project aims to develop an interactive learning environment for ECG to offer a more engaging, and effective learning experience, improving the understanding of ECG knowledge and interpretation skills. This report demonstrates the various interactive learning methods with the implementation of hardware components and software development. Visual Studio helps to integrate both hardware and software systems together. Interactive videos, quizzes and simulator help to greatly enhance the learning experience, enabling users to visualize concepts more effectively and intuitively, allowing users to gain a deeper understanding of various aspects of ECG. With the use of the Arduino, the interactive simulator can display the heart pulse waveform captured by the ECG sensor. This setup provides users with hands-on experience in utilizing the electronic circuit, enabling them to explore and understand the practical application of hardware components outside the traditional classroom setting. Moreover, for users who are keen on delving deeper into hardware development, this project offers an opportunity to build and modify their own hardware equipment.
