Mobile ECG signal measurement is a technique to measure small signals of several mV, and many studies have been conducted to remove noise including wandering scheme. Removal of the equipotential line noise caused by shaking or movement of the electrode cable is one of the core research contents for the electrocardiogram measurement. In this study, we proposed a modified step-size of combined NLMS(normalized least squares) and DLMS(delayed least squares) adaptive filter to eliminate baseline noise from ECG signals. The proposed method mainly adjusts initial filter step-size to reduce distortion of original ECG signals characteristic after eliminating baseline noise. The modified filter step-size is scaled by filter order size and distortion minimization factor. This method is suitable for portable ECG device with a small processor and less power consumption. This technique also decreases computation time which is essential for real-time filtering. The proposed filter also increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) compared to conventional NLMS filter.

With the increased attention about healthcare and management of heart diseases, smart healthcare services and related devices have been actively developed recently. R wave is the largest representative signal among ECG signals. R wave detection is very important because it detects QRS pattern and classifies arrhythmia. Several R wave detection algorithms have been proposed with different features, but the remaining problem is their implementation in low-cost portable platforms for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose R wave detection based on optimal threshold and arrhythmia classification through QRS pattern considering complexity in smart healthcare environments. For this purpose, we detected R wave from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classify premature ventricular contraction arrhythmia in realtime through QRS pattern. The performance of R wave detection and premature ventricular contraction arrhythmia classification is evaluated by using 9 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database that included over 30 premature ventricular contraction. The achieved scores indicate the average of 98.72% in R wave detection and the rate of 94.28% in PVC classification.

In this paper, daily life stress monitoring system is proposed. The proposed wireless ECG module, reducing the noise and increasing the size of signal, amplification circuit was designed for. Using HRV(Heart Rate Variability), extracted by measuring R-wave, stress diagnostic algorithms to assess the stress of human emotion were developed. For monitoring the activities, the proposed system is consist of small rectangular size for portable and by simple measurement it is possible to measure at any time. Through experiments, the proposed approach to represent user's stress level can be confirmed. Through that, it can see appropriate structure to obtain R-wave for stress assess as well as high resemblance to the clinical electrocardiogram. In this paper, performed experiments was developed nonrestraint measuring and wearable wireless biometric scanner that is able to monitor the heart's electrical activity of everyday life.Using this, the algorithm system, that is able to assess stress index through time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of the front and the rear of performing stress load protocol, was developed,

The heifer electrocardiograph is a widely progressing research which is used in judgement to existence for a heart disease and analyzes electric potential changes of heart movement during continuous living of everyday after attaching to body portable holler recorder for twenty-four hours. In order to obtain electrocardiogram clearly, it must eliminate that 60Hz power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In holter electrocardiogram, the most big problem which is recorded signal of ECG(electrocardiogram) is a baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficult of ECG diagnosis. In this study, it is stabilized baseline wandering in analog part as implementation f real-time signal processing digital filter so it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of baseline wandering elimination system.

As information technologies are developing, the improvement of the quality of life becomes worldwide issues. Especially, to improve the quality of life of a patient suffering intermittent diseases, in addition to the some portable equipments for measuring, analyzing, and notifying the status of the patients, methods of communication for seamless transmission of the measured data over to the remote site, such as an emergency center or a hospital, are required. In this paper, we address a seamless transmission of patient monitoring data such as ECG from a moving patient to a remote site, wherever the patient may be. We divide the whole environments into two wireless communication environments: an indoor one based on WLAN and an outdoor one based on CDMA cellular network in which the patient is assumed to move anywhere. We develop algorithms, implement them on a PDA-based hardware platform, and show some of the results for handover between the two environments in addition to the data transmission for each of the two environments.

Preterm children require a controlled environment that is as close as possible to that inside the womb. Incubators are well equipped to fulfill this requirement; however, they are cumbersome and expensive, thereby restricting their portability and availability in less developed and rural areas. This research comprises the development and system validation of a portable incubator. The system consists of a collapsible baby enclosure that can be stowed inside the system base when not in use. The enclosure is made from acrylic such that it is easy to clean and allows unhindered visual observation of the occupant while being robust enough to withstand transit conditions. The system can be powered either by a mains supply or a 12-VDC automobile power supply. Additionally, it has an onboard battery to ensure a continuous supply during transit. A Peltier plate controlled using a microcontroller ensures the desired enclosure temperature irrespective of the ambient temperature. Built-in sensor probes can measure the skin temperature, pulse rate, blood oxygenation level, and ECG of the infant and display them on the system screen. The system function is validated by testing its peak power consumption and the heating and cooling performances of the environment control system.

TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

DSP based on a 8 bit microprocessor was studied for ECG and PPG signals. Digital filtering has an advantage of reducing hardware components in system-on-chip design. However, low resolution such as in 8 bit data has much difficulties in DSP. We demonstrated a comparable performance of DSP filtering compared with analog filters.
