Abstract :
In apply to home health monitoring, the authors attempted ECG recording in a bathtub. For fully automated data acquisition, a personal identification technique was introduced in which differences in ECG waveforms among individuals were used. The wavelet transform was applied to reduce the ECG data, and a neural network was introduced to create a discrimination algorithm by learning. In a preliminary study, it was shown that more than 91% of ECG data could be identified correctly among a family of five members
