Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a measure of the heart’s electrical activity. Recently, ECG detection and classification have benefited from the use of computer-aided systems by cardiologists. The goal of this paper is to improve the accuracy of ECG classification by combining the Dipper Throated Optimization (DTO) and Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) into a unified algorithm to optimize the hyperparameters of neural network (NN) for boosting the ECG classification accuracy. In addition, we proposed a new feature selection method for selecting the significant feature that can improve the overall performance. To prove the superiority of the More >

Abstract A critical component of dealing with heart disease is real-time identification, which triggers rapid action. The main challenge of real-time identification is illustrated here by the rare occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. Recent contributions to cardiac arrhythmia prediction using supervised learning approaches generally involve the use of demographic features (electronic health records), signal features (electrocardiogram features as signals), and temporal features. Since the signal of the electrical activity of the heartbeat is very sensitive to differences between high and low heartbeats, it is possible to detect some of the irregularities in the early stages of arrhythmia.

Abstract Today, more families are affected by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) disease on account of its continually increasing occurrence. Most patients remain unknown about their health quality or the DM’s risk factors prior to diagnosis. The medical world has witnessed that individuals are affected by two different diabetes namely a) Type-1 diabetes (T1D), as well as b) Type-2 diabetes (T2D). As Type 2 Diabetes affects the other organs of the body, the proposed system concentrates specifically on Type 2 Diabetes. This work aims to ascertain the cardiac disorder in T2D patients. As of the ECG dataset, the… More >

Abstract A portable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system is essential for elderly and remote patients who are not able to visit the hospital regularly. The system connects a patient to his/her doctor through an Internet of Things (IoT) cloud server that provides all the information needed to diagnose heart diseases. Patients use an ECG monitoring device to collect and upload information regarding their current medical situation via the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol to the server. The IoT cloud server performs further analysis that can be useful for both the doctor and the patient. Moreover, the… More >

Abstract A comprehensive study was conducted to differentiate cardiovascular disease (CVD) subjects from non-CVD subjects using short recording electrocardiogram (ECG) of 244 Malaysian adults in The Malaysian Cohort project. An automated peak detection algorithm to detect nine fiducial points of electrocardiogram (ECG) was developed. Forty-eight features were extracted in both time and frequency domains, including statistical features obtained from heart rate variability and Poincare plot analysis. These include five new features derived from spectrum counts of five different frequency ranges. Feature selection was then made based on p-value and correlation matrix. Selected features were used as… More >

Abstract

Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring models are commonly employed for diagnosing heart diseases. Since ECG signals are normally acquired for a longer time duration with high resolution, there is a need to compress the ECG signals for transmission and storage. So, a novel compression technique is essential in transmitting the signals to the telemedicine center to monitor and analyse the data. In addition, the protection of ECG signals poses a challenging issue, which encryption techniques can resolve. The existing Encryption-Then-Compression (ETC) models for multimedia data fail to properly maintain the trade-off between compression performance and signal quality.
