Abstract


Recent development in the area of wireless communications enabled advances in healthcare technology. Now, medical personnel are able to simultaneously observe electrocardiogram signals of large number of remote patients. The electrocardiogram signals are acquired by the patients themselves at their homes or other places far away from hospitals, and are transmitted almost instantly through modern communication systems. Unfortunately, the quality of the acquired signals is highly susceptible to artefacts. Here we outline a new algorithm dedicated to electrocardiograph telemetry systems which evaluates the quality of signals measured in unsupervised environments, rises the certainty of the produced diagnoses, and accelerates protective actions when necessary.
