Detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea using electrocardiographic features and discriminant analysis

Detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is important as it is closely related to the cause of sudden death, due to heart failure during sleep. In this article, the method for OSA detection utilizes electrocardiographic parameters: QRS interval, QT interval and RT interval. The parameters are used for inputs of discriminant analysis. To find the … Read more

QRS peak detection for heart rate monitoring on Android smartphone

In this study, Android smartphone is used for heart rate monitoring and displaying electrocardiogram (ECG) graph. Heart rate determination is based on QRS peak detection. Two methods are studied to detect the QRS complex peak; they are Peak Threshold and Peak Filter. The acquisition of ECG data is utilized by AD8232 module from Analog Devices, … Read more
