DESIGN AND BUILD INTELLIGENT MEASURING DEVICES CAPABLE OF AUTOMATIC ECG SIGNAL RECOGNITION USING EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The paper presents an Electrocardiogram device design using IC of
Atmega2560 microcontroller. With strong capability in programming and
performing mathematic operations, the device can integrate the QRS detection
algorithm proposed by Hamilton and Tompkins. Additionally, the device has
extensions which allow it to connect to ECG signals collection unit or to a
dedicated computing unit such as DSP and FPGA for further increasing the
calculation power needed for recognition and classification of ECG signals, as
well as for developing this device into a measurement-signals identification
device to be applied in the reality. The solution was tested with signals MIT-BIH
database [1] on the real patients at Hai Duong City Medical Center and the test
result is as accurate as the test result on PC.
