Implementation of the Abnormal ECG Monitoring System Using Heartbeat Check Map Technique

We highlight the important of ubiquitous healthcare monitoring in medical application. Real time ECG is displayed and monitored by using mobile device. User can monitor his ECG signal using the mobile device at anywhere and anytime. A calculation-simplified algorithm for abnormal heartbeat detection and abnormal heartbeat check map (AHCM) with normal and abnormal-visibility are proposed and evaluated. R- peak detection rate of 99.96% and abnormal heartbeat detection rate of 96.15% are achieved through MIT- BIH normal arrhythmia database evaluation. R-peak detection rate of 97.8% and abnormal heartbeat detection rate of 78.9% is achieved through real time ECG data evaluation in slope experiment. The AHCM allows user who do not have any professional medical knowledge also capable to identify his or her heartbeat abnormalities.
