Title: Detection of Heart Failures using ECG Modules

Objectives:
• To design an efficient algorithm for
classification of ECG segments.
• To validate the design for efficient database.
• To implement on embedded hardware.
• To interface to web server.
• To target the proposed technique on mobile.

Scope:
This proposal is targeted for large section of
people suffering from heart diseases. This is also
effective because of online processing and
portability.

Tools Used: Work to be done in Phase 2:

• Arduino Genuino/UNO.
• Heart Sensor (AD8232) & Electrodes.
• Raspberry Pi.
• Mobile Device.
Methodology:
• The ElectroCardio Signal Sensor (AD8232) is
the main biosensor used to detect heart
rhythm.
• The Arduino Genuino acts as an ADC device
and also a signal generator.
• The signals generated by the Arduino are
subjected to Digital Signal Processing to obtain
the constraints which may determine the
possible heart failure/defect.
• For the signal processing purpose we use
Raspberry Pi.
Work Done so far:
• Analyzing the specifications as mentioned in
reference papers of IEEE & Wiley.
• Design of Logic Block.
• Partial Signal acquired through Heart Sensor
and ECG Electrodes.
• Processing the acquired signal with the
Processor.
• Providing more test data to the Processor
for enhanced precision.
• Acquiring output either through Web
Interface or by designing an Application.
• Verification in Compliance to IEEE & Wiley
Specifications.
