Abstract :
This paper discusses the circuit comparison of the electrocardiogram (ECG) heart rate detector for wearable biomedical devices. In this work, the QRS complex is used to calculate heart rate, representing the main component of the ECG signal. In order to achieve a high level of accuracy by the detector, the measured ECG signal must be free of noise. Typically, such noise originates from power line interferences and baseline wandering. To eliminate these noises, the ECG signal must be processed using the signal processing method. The ECG detection process can be divided into a preprocessing stage, which eliminates noise from the raw ECG signal, and the feature extraction stage, which extracts the QRS complex for heart rate calculation. Based on our analysis, the trade-off between complexity and accuracy in ECG signal architecture is important when designing a high-efficiency system.
