Abstract—The affordability of the medical diagnostics is going high over time. To overcome this scenario people are looking for inexpensive, reliable and effective healthcare technologies that are user-friendly and could be used in home without physicians help. This paper focuses on the design and development of low cost Abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle monitoring system using surface electromyography (sEMG) that detects the electrical pulses from muscle and transmitted wirelessly. Telemedicine is one of the rapidly developing field’s nowadays; hence remote monitoring plays a vital role in faster diagnosis by which continuous monitoring is carried out using ZigBee – wireless technique. The EMG data obtained in the receiver end is analyzed using MATLAB software.
