Abstract Electrogastrography is a pain free diagnosing method for evaluating stomach myoelectric activity. People are drawn to EGG because it is painless diagnostic procedure. However, given to its non-invasive characteristics, there has been significant debate about the validity and applicability of EGG. The major goal of this project is to decouple the electrode-equipment probe connection. This enhances the patient’s mobility (infant, athlete, handicapped) while lowering probe-to-electrode misconnection. This portable electrode system allows physicians and nurses to examine data of a patient from a distance, decreasing the need for them to be physically present behind the subject for examination. The signal capture, data acquisition unit and communication interface with the Wireless Fidelity module are utilized to quantify stomach activity. Arduino is used to take an analogue signal and convert it to a digital value. The Arduino programming language is used to build the programmers, which are subsequently embedded in the board. As a consequence, the value retrieved from the Electrogastrograph module is transferred over Wireless Fidelity module to the thing speak online platform. Arduino accepts an analogue signal and transforms it to a digital value. The Arduino programming language is used to build the applications, which are subsequently incorporated into the board. As a result, the value retrieved from the EGG module is transferred through Wireless Fidelity module to thing speak online platform.
