Abstract
An approach is proposed for the detection of chronic heart disorders from the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It utilizes an intelligent event-driven ECG signal acquisition system to achieve a real-time compression and effective signal processing and transmission. The experimental results show that grace of event-driven nature an overall 2.6 times compression and bandwidth utilization gain is attained by the suggested solution compared to the counter classical methods. It results in a significant reduction in the complexity and execution time of the post denoising, features extraction and classification processes. The overall system precision is studied in terms of the classification accuracy, the F-measure, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and the Kappa statistics. The best classification accuracy of 94.07% is attained. It confirms that the designed event-driven solution realizes a computationally efficient automatic diagnosis of the cardiac arrhythmia while achieving a high precision decision support for cloud-based mobile health monitoring.
