In this study, ubiquitous health care system attaching in chair to monitor ECG for health care was developed at the unconsciousness state. The system conveniently and simple measured ECG at non-consciousness. We measured the contact impedance to skin-electrode of metal mesh electrodes of the system. Contact impedance enable the electrode to use for ECG measurement. The results are that the impedance of the metal mesh electrodes according to sizes is low when the size is 4$cm^2$. As the result, when the size of the metal mesh electrode is 4$cm^2$, the electrode is fit for ECG measurement. We can acquired by positing the arm on the metal mesh electrode. The ECG signal was detected using a high-input-impedance bio-amplifier, and then passed filter circuitry. The measured signal transmitted to a PC through the bluetooth wireless communication and monitored. Data of the non-constrained ECG system attaching in chair is noise-data when comparing metal mesh electrode with the Ag/Agcl electrode but the data is significant to monitor ECG for check the body state.

모바일 심전도(ECG) 신호 측정은 수 mV의 작은 소 신호를 측정하는 기술로서 동적 잡음을 제거하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행 되어 왔다. 특히 심전도 전극 케이블의 흔들림이나 피부의 움직임으로 인하여 유발 되는 등 전위선 잡음의 제거는 심전도 측정을 위한 핵심 연구 내용 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 심전도 신호의 등전위선 동적 잡음을 제거하기 위해 정규화 최소 자승법(NLMS)와 지연 최소 자승법(DLMS) 방식을 결합한 적응 필터의 스텝 사이즈를 결정하여 적용하는 기법을 제안 하였다. 제안한 기법은 필터의 초기 스텝 사이즈를 조정하여 기본 노이즈를 차감 한 후, 해당 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 심전도 신호 특성의 왜곡을 줄이는 방법이다. 본 논문에서의 제안한 기법에서, 필터 계수의 값은 필터 순서 사이즈 및 왜곡 최소화 인자에 의해 직접적으로 스케일링 설정 된다. 그리고 제안된 필터는 실시간 필터링에 필수적인 계산의 복잡성을 줄이도록 하여, 연산시간을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대되므로 소형 프로세서 및 저전력 소비가 요구되는 모바일 심전도 측정기기에 적합한 장점을 가진다. 또한 종래의 NLMS 적응 필터와 신호대잡음비(SNR)를 비교하여 우수함을 확인하였다.

Objective: To compare image quality and radiation dose of high-pitch dual-source spiral cardiothoracic computed tomography (CT) between non-electrocardiography (ECG)-synchronized and prospectively ECG-triggered data acquisitions in young children with congenital heart disease. Materials and Methods: Eighty-six children (${\leq}3$ years) with congenital heart disease who underwent high-pitch dual-source spiral cardiothoracic CT were included in this retrospective study. They were divided into two groups (n = 43 for each; group 1 with non-ECG-synchronization and group 2 with prospective ECG triggering). Patient-related parameters, radiation dose, and image quality were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in patient-related parameters including age, cross-sectional area, body density, and water-equivalent area between the two groups (p > 0.05). Regarding radiation dose parameters, only volume CT dose index values were significantly different between group 1 ($1.13{\pm}0.09mGy$) and group 2 ($1.07{\pm}0.12mGy$, p < 0.02). Among image quality parameters, significantly higher image noise ($3.8{\pm}0.7$ Hounsfield units [HU] vs. $3.3{\pm}0.6HU$, p < 0.001), significantly lower signal-to-noise ratio ($105.0{\pm}28.9$ vs. $134.1{\pm}44.4$, p = 0.001) and contrast-to-noise ratio ($84.5{\pm}27.2$ vs. $110.1{\pm}43.2$, p = 0.002), and significantly less diaphragm motion artifacts ($3.8{\pm}0.5$ vs. $3.7{\pm}0.4$, p < 0.04) were found in group 1 compared with group 2. Image quality grades of cardiac structures, coronary arteries, ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk, lung markings, and chest wall showed no significant difference between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In high-pitch dual-source spiral pediatric cardiothoracic CT, additional ECG triggering does not substantially reduce motion artifacts in young children with congenital heart disease.

Adaptive noise cancelling using system identification techniques for cancelling power line interference in the electrocardiogram (ECG) is presented. This method is sensitive and self-adjusting to both slow and abrupt changes in the AC interference amplitude and frequency. Computer simulation were done to compare this method with the Lekov's method.

This paper presents a real time FECG signal monitoring system in which an adaptive multichannel noise canceller is implemented using a Texas Instruments TMS32020 digital signal processor. Abdominal ECG signal is applied as the desired output and 3 chest ECG signals as the reference input signals of the adaptive multichannel noise canceller whose coefficients are updated using the LMS algorithms.

Previous works for detecting arrhythmia have mostly used nonlinear method to increase classification accuracy. Most methods require accurate detection of ECG signal, higher computational cost and larger processing time. But it is difficult to analyze the ECG signal because of various noise types. Also in the healthcare system based IOT that must continuously monitor people's situation, it is necessary to process ECG signal in realtime. Therefore it is necessary to design efficient algorithm that classifies different arrhythmia in realtime and decreases computational cost by extrating minimal feature. In this paper, we propose R wave detection considering complexity and arrhythmia classification based on binary coding. For this purpose, we detected R wave through SOM and then RR interval from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classified arrhythmia in realtime by converting threshold variability of feature to binary code. R wave detection and PVC, PAC, Normal classification is evaluated by using 39 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average of 99.41%, 97.18%, 94.14%, 99.83% in R wave, PVC, PAC, Normal.

A wavelet based ECG data compression has become an attractive and efficient method in many mobile tele-cardiology applications. But large data size required for high compression performance leads a serious delay. In this paper, new wavelet compression method with minimum delay is proposed. It is based on deciding the type and compression ratio(CR) of block organically according to the standard deviation of input ECG data with minimum block size. Compression performances of the proposed algorithm for different MIT ECG Records were analyzed comparing other ECG compression algorithm. In addition to the processing delay measurement, compression efficiency and reconstruction sensitivity to error were also evaluated via random noise simulation models. The results show that the proposed algorithm has both lower PRD than other algorithm on same CR and minimum time in the data acquisition, processing and transmission.

현재 사회는 고령화와 생활의 질적 향상으로 인해 재택 의료 기술이 필요하게 되었다. 재택 의료가 가능하게 되려면 재택 의료기의 가격이 저렴해야 하며, LAM이나 공중망에 의료기가 직접 접속을 하여 어디서든지 의사가 있는 병원으로 접속이 가능해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 심전도 전처리 과정중 기저선 제거만을 하고 디스플레이 영역을 생략하며, 전력선 잡음 제거를 위해 연산량이 적은 디지털 필터를 적용함으로써 CPU의 부담을 줄일 뿐 아니라 크기를 줄이고 가격을 낮출 수 있고, 남는 CPU의 능력을 LAN(Local Area Network)을 이용한 심전도 데이터 전송에 사용하여 직접 TCP/IP망에 접속할 수 있는 심전도 단말기를 구현하였다.

In this study, we develope an ambulatory ECG acquisition system by implementing a patch-style and wireless electrode. To alleviate the inherent noisy characteristics of the mobile signal, we apply a matched filter and concurrently detect R-peak values. Moreover, the measure for resolving shape distance is computed to estimate the relative similarity between two ECG signals and to decide whether the abnormal characteristics in ECG exist or not.
