ZigBee transmission system for wearable ECG device based on compressed sensing

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement is an important part of wearable medical devices due to steady time of ECG signal acquisition and transmission through wireless system; therefore, reducing the amount of data transmission is very necessary. In this paper, the wearable medical devices ECG data processing based on compressive sensing theory is discussed. Based on the characteristics of ECG signal itself, the related operations with standard signal is proposed, so that the data can be compressed efficiently. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm.
