Abstract

This paper proposes an iterative procedure for the determination of parameters and working conditions of biomedical signal processing algorithms. A systematization of the process required to determine the parameters is proposed, avoiding “trial and error” tests, and considering all the specific requirements of a Telemedicine system, such as reliability and guaranteed signal reconstruction quality. An application of the method is included, also, focusing on ECG processing. Hardware platform ©Biolet(E) is designed for validation in an electronic implementation.
