Abstract:
Anomaly detection in Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals facilitates the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases i.e., arrhythmias. Existing methods, although fairly accurate, demand a large number of computational resources. Based on the pre-processing of ECG signal, we present a low-complex digital hardware implementation (ADDHard) for arrhythmia detection. ADDHard has the advantages of low-power consumption and a small foot print. ADDHard is suitable especially for resource constrained systems such as body wearable devices. Its implementation was tested with the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and achieved an accuracy of 97.28% with a specificity of 98.25% on average.
